Half-and-Half Dessert Pizza:

Nutella

Peanut butter

Strawberries, sliced

Banana, sliced

Honey M&Ms

Spread Nutella on half of the pita and peanut butter on the other half. Top the Nutella side with sliced strawberries and M&Ms. Place pizza in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F to make pita toasted and toppings gooey.

S’mores Pizza:

Mini marshmallows

Milk chocolate squares

Graham cracker, crumbled

Cover the pita with mini marshmallows and place in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes or until marshmallows are golden brown. Place chocolate squares on top of the pita while the marshmallows are still hot. The chocolate will melt on its own. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top, slice and eat.

Apple Cinnamon Dessert Pizza:

Peanut butter

Apple, sliced

Caramel sauce

Cinnamon

Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the pita. Top with apple slices and then sprinkle with cinnamon. Drizzle caramel over the whole pita. Place in oven for 5-10 minutes at 350 degrees F. Let cool for five minutes, slice and enjoy.

White Chocolate Cream Cheese and Fruit Pizza:

Cream cheese (we chose white chocolate cream cheese)

Kiwi, peeled and sliced

Strawberries, sliced

Banana, sliced

Start with a pita and add a thin layer of cream cheese. Place the sliced fruits around the edge of the pita working toward the center. Cut into slices and indulge.

Dessert pizza pocket and calzone dessert pita:

To make a dessert pizza pocket or a calzone-type dessert pita, place the ingredients inside the pita’s pocket rather than on top, wrap the pita in foil and bake for 5-10 minutes at 350F.

Make your dessert pizza vegan:

Use Guittard semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of M&Ms and Hershey’s bars.

Use Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut Butter instead of Nutella.

Instead of regular marshmallows, use Ricemellow cream or vegan marshmallows which can be purchased at Whole Foods.

Hershey’s chocolate syrup is vegan!
