CiCi's Cherry Dessert Pizza
Description
This dessert pizza starts with a classic pizza dough that is lightly prebaked to a soft but firm crust. Cherry pie filling is spread over the crust, contributing a rich, fruity sweetness and moist texture. A crumb topping made from flour, sugars, salt, and softened butter is sprinkled on top before baking again, producing a crisp, sugary contrast.
The pizza is baked until the crust turns golden brown and the crumble topping forms a delicate crust. Once baked, a sweet drizzle of powdered sugar mixed with vanilla extract and milk is poured over the warm pizza, adding a glossy, smooth finish and a vanilla-infused sweetness that complements the tart cherries.
This dessert pizza offers a pleasant balance of soft, juicy fruit and crunchy crumb with a tender base, making it a suitable option for sharing at casual gatherings or as a unique dessert offering.
Ingredients
Crumb Topping
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar white
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter softened
Pizza
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 20 ounces cherry pie filling
Sweet Drizzle
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and grease a large pizza pan.
- To make the crumb topping, mix the flour, sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Add the butter and use a pastry blender or fork to combine until the mixture resembles cornmeal.
- To make the pizza, spread the dough on the prepared pizza pan and prick with a fork 8 to 10 times. Place in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, spread the cherry pie filling over the crust, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of crumb topping. Return to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
- While the pizza is cooking, make the sweet drizzle by combining the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of milk. Mix well. You may need to add an additional tiny splash of milk so the consistency is runny enough to drizzle.
- When the crust is golden brown, remove the pizza from the oven and top with the sweet drizzle.
