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. 😉

- 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.

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.
Question about the pizza dough. Can you use canned thin crust pizza dough, and isn’t using pizza dough going to make this a little more ‘chewy’ Typically, a sugar cookie bottom is used in fruit pizzas. Remarks ?
whoops another question on the crust. What pre made do you use ? or do you make a standard pizza that is homemade ? Share recipe if so. Want to make this week.
Sounds good. Can not believe so easy and so good. Will be a fave!
Going to try but with cherries. Looks awesome. Thanks
