Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough
- 1 package Pizza Dough (store-bought or homemade, about 12-inch circle)
Topping
- 1/2 cup Butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal baking temperature before you start assembling the dessert pizza.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough into a circular shape approximately 12 inches in diameter on a lightly floured surface.
- Make Butter Mixture: Melt the softened butter and then combine it with the brown sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and well mixed.
- Spread Mixture: Evenly spread the butter-sugar mixture over the rolled-out dough, covering the entire surface for a consistent sweetness.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Generously sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly across the butter-sugar layer to create gooey pockets of chocolate.
- Drizzle Condensed Milk and Add Cinnamon: Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the chocolate chips and, if desired, sprinkle the cinnamon on top for an optional warm spice flavor.
- Bake: Place the dessert pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the chocolate chips are melted.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for 5 to 10 minutes to set slightly, then cut into wedges and serve warm for the best taste.
Notes
- Using softened butter instead of melted butter helps to retain a thicker, more spreadable consistency.
- Store-bought pizza dough works great for convenience, but homemade dough will add extra flavor and freshness.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute brown sugar with dark brown sugar.
- Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top after baking for a balance of sweet and salty.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and warmed before serving.
