Easy Dessert Pizza
Dessert pizza uses a cookie dough or pastry base baked until golden, then topped with a sweetened cream cheese spread, fresh fruit, and a drizzle of chocolate or caramel. The base bakes in about 12 to 15 minutes, and toppings go on after it cools. It's an easy, flexible recipe that can be customized with whatever fruit is in season.
