Cinnamon Sugar Dessert Pizza

With crunchy streusel topping and vanilla glaze, this Cinnamon Sugar Dessert Pizza is a fun treat for the end of your meals or pizza night.

If you have never tried a Dessert Pizza you are really missing out. We used to have a place called Godfather’s Pizza and they had this Dessert Pizza that was to die for.

They haven’t been around our area for years, so obviously I had to recreate one of my favorite childhood memories at home.

Not only it being a dessert, this is great for breakfast with a cup of coffee and obviously can be considered pizza.

With minimal and easy to find ingredients, this comes together in on time and is great for your next pizza night.

Although I think that this is great to be made any time or day, meal or year. There is just something about this Cinnamon Sugar Dessert Pizza that you will fall in love with.

If you’ve been looking for something sweet and different to end your night, then this recipe is exactly what you need.

Some of my other favorite cinnamon sugar desserts include: Cinnamon Sugar Mini Donuts, Cinnamon Muffins and Cinnamon Crescent Rolls.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:

• This takes minimal and easy to find ingredients to make.
• The streusel topping really gives it a nice crunch and flavor.
• The addition of the glaze sets it over the top.

All-purpose flour

Salt
Powdered sugar
Heavy cream

HOW TO MAKE A CINNAMON SUGAR DESSERT PIZZA, STEP BY STEP:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a pizza pan with non-stock cooking spray or oil.
2. Roll out dough onto round pizza pan.
3. Spread softened butter onto dough.
4. Add granulated sugar and cinnamon to a small mixing bowl and mix until combined.
5. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over buttered pizza dough, leaving a half-inch or so for the crust.
6. Add streusel topping ingredients to a medium mixing bowl, and using a pastry cutter or fork, cut butter into dry ingredients until mixture becomes crumbly.
7. Sprinkled streusel topping over pizza dough.
8. Bake in preheated oven for 9-10 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
9. Prepare icing while pizza is cooling by adding ingredients to a small mixing bowl and whisking until smooth.
10. Drizzle icing over top of pizza, cut, and serve warm.

CAN I USE HOMEMADE PIZZA CRUST?

Yes, if you would rather use a homemade pizza crust for this recipe instead of a refrigerated one you can do that.

Just make sure that it is roughly the same amount of dough so it bakes the same.

WHAT ELSE CAN I ADD TO THIS DESSERT PIZZA?

While we love it the way it is, you can switch it up a little bit if you’d like.

You can add some mini chocolate chips to your topping, use a caramel or chocolate drizzle, add chopped nuts, use a sugar cookie mix as the crust, etc.

WHAT SIZE PIZZA PAN SHOULD I USE?

We use a 12-inch round pizza pan for this recipe. This is the perfect size for this pizza and thickness.

You can make this in a 9×13-inch bar pan as well if you want to have a rectangle pizza instead of round.

CAN I DIP THIS PIZZA IN ANYTHING?

If you want extra sweetness you can absolutely dip it in some sauces. You can make extra icing and dip it in that, caramel sauce or chocolate sauce is also great ideas.

HOW TO STORE:

This can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator where it will keep for up to 4 days.

I do not recommend freezing this pizza.

To reheat, place in the microwave in 15 second intervals until heated through.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

• You can make your own homemade pizza dough if you like.
• Other things can be added to the topping, see above on ideas.
• We use a 12-inch round pizza pan for this recipe.
• We do not recommend freezing this pizza.
• Dip in various dipping sauces like more of the icing, caramel or chocolate sauce.
• This is great for pizza night or for breakfast with coffee or even just an every day dessert.

When it comes to pizza you can’t get better than one called a dessert. That is why you need to make this Cinnamon Sugar Dessert Pizza.
