In the spirit of experimentation, I have been trying out various dessert recipes. Trying new things is something I am making a conscious effort to do more of here at i am baker. (So if you have requests, do let me know!)
Back to dessert pizza. One of the best things about this is the shortbread cookie crumble on top of the pizza. I asked my sweet Parker if he would help out and he was happy to lend a hand.
So this is a layer of cinnamon and sugar pizza, a cream cheese layer, a blueberry pie filling layer, then shortbread crumbles.
Not too shabby eh?
These four pieces look about right. The kids can split the small ones. 😉
Blueberry Dessert Pizza
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 12-inch thin pizza crust, pre-made
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¾ cup confectioners sugar
- 21 ounces can blueberry pie filling
- 1 cup crushed shortbread cookies
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F.
- Mix 2 tablespoons of melted butter with cinnamon and brush over the entire pizza crust.
- Bake crust for 5 minutes or until crust is golden brown, then allow the crust to cool.
- In a stand mixer, blend together cream cheese, softened butter and vanilla until light and fluffy.
- Add confectioners sugar and mix well.
- Carefully spread cream cheese mixture evenly over pizza crust.
- Add an even layer of blueberry filling.
- Generously sprinkle the top of the pizza with crushed shortbread cookies. (I use Walkers and used 6 round cookies.)
Did you make this recipe?
Thank you for making my recipe! You took pictures, right? Well go ahead and post them on Instagram! Be sure to mention me @iambaker and use the hashtag #YouAreBaker.
This pizza sounds soooooo good!! LOVE it!
This looks heavenly! I am sucker, however, for a good old cherry cheese pie and I think I might have to do a little adaptation of this and add a little lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture and sub cherry pie filling. 🙂
I’ve been quietly following your blog for a while now, especially after hearing you speak at BHF in Miami, and your creativity always amazes me! You’re so versatile when it comes to baking (the entire baking community was blown away by all of your beautiful desserts in your Surprise-Inside Cakes cookbook!), and it’s really inspiring to hear that you’re branching out by posting more on your blog and trying new things. 🙂 I’m currently obsessed with pizza, so having both a savory one for dinner and a sweet one for dessert after sounds perfect to me! Already pinned!
Amy, it’s such a pleasure to hear from you! I love that you are a healthy baker… I could learn a lot from you! Thank you so much for the kind words. I look forward to stalking, er, I mean reading your blog! 🙂
this is my kind of pizza! love that you used blueberry pie filling (my favourite).. love it!
I’ve had dessert pizza on my mind for a while now and this one looks so good! yum!!
Oh my goodness two of my favorites in one! Looks amazing!
I have never made a dessert pizza before but now I’m very tempted to try!
Everybody’s doing the blueberry… This sounds fun to make and to eat!
MMMMMMMMM!!!!!
Hello there . This looks amazing!!’ I will be making soon enough. Perfect for a brunch. My question for you is, do you think that lemon pie filling would work as well? I would like to offer a couple flavors. I have made cinnamon roll pizza which is great but only good hot and bubbly do this fruit idea is marvelous. Any insight you could provide will be appreciated
Those ideas sound great! I do think they would work. 🙂
