Chocolate Fudge Dessert Pizza Ingredients
Brownie Base:
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Fudge Topping:
- ½ cup (115 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream
Optional Toppings:
- Mini marshmallows
- Crushed cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- Chocolate chips or chunks
- Chopped nuts
- Sprinkles
- Fresh strawberries or raspberries
Instructions
- Craft a luscious chocolate foundation by preheating the oven to 350F (175C) and preparing a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper and light grease.
- Create a silky mixture by whisking melted butter and sugar until they transform into a harmonious blend, then introduce eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until the ingredients dance together seamlessly.
- Gently fold cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder into the wet ingredients, using delicate strokes to merge the dry and wet components without overworking the batter.
- Distribute the decadent brownie mixture across the prepared pan, using a spatula to sculpt an even, smooth surface that promises a uniform chocolate experience.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake until the edges become slightly crisp and the center exhibits a tender, fudgy consistency, typically requiring 18-22 minutes of careful cooking.
- Remove the chocolate pizza from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack, letting the rich, intense flavors settle and develop their full potential.
Notes
- Perfectly line your baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking and easy removal of the dessert pizza.
- Mix wet ingredients thoroughly but gently to maintain a light, fudgy texture without developing tough gluten structures.
- For gluten-free adaptation, replace standard flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend, maintaining the same measurement and mixing technique.
- Control chocolate intensity by selecting different cocoa powder varieties – Dutch-processed for deeper flavor or natural cocoa for brighter chocolate notes.
