Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 store-bought pizza dough (or homemade)
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp sugar
For the Topping:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp honey (for drizzling)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
For Blueberry Sauce (optional):
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pizza dough into a circle and transfer it to a greased or lined baking sheet. Brush the melted butter over the crust and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and slightly crisp. Let it cool completely.
- Make the Blueberry Sauce (Optional): In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Topping: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Pizza: Once the crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface. Scatter the fresh blueberries on top.
- Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle honey (or the blueberry sauce if using) over the top of the pizza. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color if desired.
- Serve: Slice and serve the blueberry dessert pizza chilled or at room temperature.
Enjoy this sweet and creamy Blueberry Dessert Pizza as a refreshing, fruity treat that’s perfect for any gathering or a simple dessert!
