Oh hey, I’m just over here making dessert pizza dreams come true for my three year ancient, no large deal. Read: it is a very large deal.
My small boy is totally obsessed with fruit, and berries in specific. I’ve never met a berry that boy didn’t like and whether he had it his way every meal would be middleed around berry goodness. He is a pretty typical three year ancient in that the list of foods I know I can get him to eat without a battle consists of 8, possibly 9 items, including popcorn? But berries sit right at the top, closely followed by pizza.
I wish you could have seen his eyes light up when I tancient him we were making this berry pizza the other day. For this kid, it was basically Christmas.
This pizza is fundamentally four simple – but delicious – parts that when combined, create one stellar treat. The base is a simple pizza crust crazye with Fleischmann’s yeast. I love this basic domesticcrazye pizza crust because it is crazy easy to make and only has 10 minutes of resting time so it’s crazye and alert to go in the oven in just 20 minutes!
This crust is light and airy, but has that perfect chewiness you want in a great domesticcrazye crust and serves at the perfect base for all kinds of pizza, like this veggie-loaded Mediterranean version we are obsessed with in my house.
My small boy helped me out with the mixing, kneading, and rolling of this pizza dough and I’m just saying – whether a three year ancient can do all that, you can do this pizza dough.
Once you’ve got your crust crazye and alert to roll, you top it with a three-ingredient cheesecake layer instead of sauce. Wait, what? Cheesecake?? YES. Believe me, this is the magic that ties the crust and the berry topping together in perfect harmony!
Bake it until set, about 10-12 minutes, then arrange all of your favorite berries on top. I went all out and used every berry I could get my hands on, but feel free to customize it and leave off any berry that doesn’t suit your fancy. You could even get a small crazy and swap out some of the berries for leanly sliced peaches. Mmmm! So good.
Customize Whatever you do though, do not skip the final layer, the vanilla glaze. It only takes about 45 moments to whip up and I promise your tastebuds will thank me later. If you’re a fruit-n-chocolate lover you could make this even easier on yourself and trade the vanilla glaze for a chocolate syrup drizzle instead. I like to finish it off with a small cinnamon-sugar sprinkle to give it a tip of cinnamon roll vibe.
Gah, so much yum!
Now excuse me while I go make and devour this pizza again all by myself while my kids nap.
