Dessert and pizza at some point joined hand in hand long ago and instantly became a match made in dessert heaven. Although its origin is not truly known, this dessert is believed to be French influenced because
of their pastry creations. However, others say Americans brought it to life with their ingenuity and creativity to use ingredients that they had on hand. Either way, it is certainly not a traditional pizza. With its sweet crusts and
infinite list of toppings, the dessert pizza creations are endless.
Dessert pizza is a popular favorite that is eaten by the young and old alike. This versatile dessert can be made fun and cute, or it can be sophisticated and classic. It can be served for almost any occasion such as anniversaries, birthdays,
weddings, or just for fun. Making a dessert pizza with others is a great way for everyone in the family to add their favorite ingredient. Since dessert pizza is so simple and quick to make, it is also the perfect kid friendly baking
project. With endless possibilities, dessert pizza has something to offer everyone.
This dessert is made with either a cookie crust (sugar cookie, graham cracker, vanilla wafers, etc.), or sweetened pizza dough. Depending on the ingredients, some dessert pizzas do not even need to be baked, whereas others like chocolate
chip pizza do. In the spring and summer months a crisp sugar cookie crust topped with fresh fruit like strawberries and blueberries and then drizzled with honey or chocolate sauce is a great choice for a brunch. For colder weather, warm
sweet pizza dough covered in chocolate chips and caramel is the perfect addition to a steaming cup of coffee. From glazed fruits, to cream cheese and strawberries, this dessert is so easy to make and even easier to enjoy. |
