Ingredients
Scale
- 1 store-bought pizza dough or homemade dough
- 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup melted chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a pizza pan or baking sheet. - Prepare the Dough:
Roll out the pizza dough into a 10-12 inch circle and place it on the prepared pan. - Bake the Pizza Crust:
Bake the pizza dough for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. - Make the Cream Cheese Topping:
While the crust is cooling, prepare the cream cheese topping. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk or beat until smooth and creamy. - Assemble the Pizza:
Once the crust is warm but not hot, spread an even layer of chocolate hazelnut spread over the base, leaving a small border around the edges. - Add the Cream Cheese Layer:
Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture on top of the chocolate hazelnut layer, spreading it gently with a spatula for a smooth finish. - Top with Chocolate Chips:
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly across the pizza. - Drizzle with Melted Chocolate:
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the entire pizza for a finishing touch. - Slice and Serve:
Slice the dessert pizza into wedges and serve immediately. It’s perfect for sharing or indulging as a sweet treat.
Notes
- Chill the Cream Cheese Mixture: If you prefer a firmer cream cheese topping, chill the mixture in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before spreading it on the pizza.
- Use Homemade Dough for Extra Flavor: While store-bought dough is convenient, homemade pizza dough will give the pizza a fresher, richer flavor.
- Customize the Toppings: Add chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, or colorful sprinkles to make the pizza even more fun and festive.
- Use Other Chocolate Spreads: If you prefer, you can use a peanut butter spread, caramel, or even white chocolate spread as a base.
- Serving Suggestions: This dessert pizza is perfect for birthday parties, holidays, or casual gatherings.
