Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cup warm water
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup raspberry jam
  • 0.5 cup cold butter (divided use)
  • 0.5 cup flour (for streusel)
  • 0.5 cup sugar (for streusel)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, and salt until well combined. Gradually stir in warm water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Step 2: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  4. Step 4: Roll or press the dough onto the prepared baking sheet to form the pizza crust. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
  5. Step 5: Spoon dollops of raspberry jam over the cream cheese layer and gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle white chocolate chips evenly over the pizza.
  7. Step 7: For the streusel topping, mix cold butter, flour, and sugar together until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture over the layered pizza.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 13-14 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the topping is slightly crisp. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries instead of jam for a chunkier texture and fresher flavor.
  • Swap white chocolate chips for dark or milk chocolate to balance the sweetness.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling to make it easier to handle.
  • Try adding a sprinkle of lemon zest to the cream cheese layer for added brightness.

Storage

Store any leftover dessert pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or microwave for a few seconds to soften before serving.

How to Serve

A round dessert pizza is cut into eight slices, placed on a light wooden board. The base is a golden, thick pastry crust with a soft texture. The first layer on top is a red raspberry jam spread evenly across the crust. On top of this jam, there are scattered dollops of white creamy cheese, giving a lumpy texture. Fresh whole raspberries, bright red and plump, are placed on each slice in no set pattern. Finally, the pizza is dusted with a light layer of white powdered sugar that gives a soft contrast to the red and cream colors. In the background, there are two small clear glasses with red liquid and a white bowl, all placed on a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight. Bring it to room temperature before shaping.

Can I use regular yeast instead of instant yeast?

Yes, but you will need to activate it in warm water first and allow extra rising time for the dough to properly develop.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (Provides structure)
  • 1 packet instant yeast (Helps the crust rise)
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt (Enhances flavor)
  • 0.75 cup warm water (Activates the yeast)
  • 0.5 cup cold butter (Used for crust)

Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese (Forms the creamy cheesecake layer)
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar (Sweetens the cheesecake)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (Adds depth of flavor)

Toppings

  • 0.5 cup white chocolate chips (Adds sweetness and texture)
  • 0.5 cup raspberry jam (Offers tanginess and visual appeal)

Streusel Topping

  • 0.5 cup flour (Provides the base for the streusel)
  • 0.5 cup sugar (Sweetens the streusel)
  • 0.5 cup cold butter (Creates that perfect crumbly texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, and salt until well combined. Gradually stir in warm water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Make Cheesecake Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set this mixture aside for layering.
  4. Assemble Dessert Pizza: Roll out the prepared dough on the baking sheet. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust. Spoon dollops of raspberry jam over the cream cheese and gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle white chocolate chips evenly over the pizza surface.
  6. Prepare Streusel: In a bowl, mix cold butter, flour, and sugar together until crumbly. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the white chocolate chips to add a crumbly topping.
  7. Bake: Place the assembled pizza into the preheated oven and bake for 13-14 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and streusel is crisp.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the toppings to set before transferring to a cutting board and slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter for the streusel and crust is cold to achieve the best crumbly texture.
  • You can substitute raspberry jam with other fruit preserves like strawberry or blueberry if preferred.
  • For an extra touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled pizza before serving.
  • This dessert pizza is best enjoyed within 2 days; store leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
  • Allow the dough to rest if time permits for better texture, although the recipe works well with immediate baking after kneading.
