How to Make Chocolate Chip Fruit Dessert Pizza

This strawberry nutella pizza is one of my FAVORITE desserts – thank goodness they’re so easy to make! Here’s how:

Step 1

Mix together butter and brown sugar thoroughly in a large bowl until light and fluffy.

Step 2

Scrape the sides of the bowl so the entire mixture is in the bottom of the mixing bowl. Add eggs and vanilla and combine thoroughly.

Step 3

Add flour, salt, and baking powder to a medium bowl and whisk. 

Step 4

Combine the two mixtures and mix until just combined. Fold the chocolate chips into your “homemade pizza crust.”

Step 5

Spray cookie sheet or pizza pan with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.

Step 6

Spoon the entire mixture in the center of the baking sheet or pizza pan. Spread out to all sides within an inch of the side (with your fingers or a rolling pin).

Step 7

Place in pre-heated oven and bake at 350 degrees for 20 – 22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Step 8

Prepare the buttercream icing for your dessert pizza by adding Nutella and butter in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.

Step 9

Mix in the powdered sugar, adding 1 cup at a time with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream with each cup. Mix until smooth.

Step 10

Add the second cup of powdered sugar and heavy cream and combine. Use more or less heavy cream depending on how thick you want it.

Step 11

Mix the buttercream on high for 4 – 5 minutes so that it has time to get light and fluffy.

Step 12

Top your sweet pie with the fruit you desire. Sliced fresh strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, mandarin oranges, slices of bananas, and more!

Chocolate Chip Fruit Dessert Pizza Recipe Notes And Tips

• Cut the ‘curve’ off the bottom of the strawberry when you slice so they lay flat on the dessert pizza.

• TIP: Strawberries can retain excess water if exposed to water for too long so it is best to gently wash the strawberries and pat dry before adding them to the fruit pizza.

• If you are using bananas on this delicious treat, be sure to squirt a small amount of lemon juice on the slices to prevent them from browning too quickly.

• AVOID THESES FRUITS: Steer clear of watermelon because the high water content can make the pizza crust soggy. I also recommend avoiding previously frozen fruit for the same reason.

• Once you add your fresh fruit to this fun dessert, you can finish if off with some mini chocolate chips or mini marshmallows if you want!

Variations Of Chocolate Chip Fruit Dessert Pizza To Try

• Drizzle some chocolate sauce over the finished dessert pizza. YUM! Who doesn’t love MORE chocolate. 😉

• Chocolate chip cookies are a favorite for the base of the fruit pizza but I would enjoy a sugar cookie base just as much!

• Arrange the fruit on the chocolate chip cookie in a pattern or any way you choose. It will be yummy no matter how you decorate it.

• Replace the Nutella buttercream with a cream cheese sauce (or frosting)! Simply mix 8oz (1 block) cream cheese, 3 Tbsp butter, 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract together with a hand mixer. Then spread your cream cheese mixture over this easy dessert recipe to make the best dessert pizza!

• Save time by using prepared chocolate chip cookie dough or sugar cookie dough instead of making your own dough for this delicious dessert pizza.

• If you’re a chocolate lover, feel free to replace the chocolate chip cookie crust in this sweet treat with a brownie crust for dessert brownie pizza magic! Top with cream cheese sauce and fresh fruit.
