Cooking w/ L+L – Anj’s Famous Dessert Pizza

As previously mentioned and tweeted, I have a problem with pizza.  And, I am still trying to understand why it’s not healthy when it incorporates all the essential food groups: hello, bread/ dairy/ meat/ veggie/ fruit (sometimes – love the pineapple)/ fats and sweets (def).  Anyway, pizza is not only an incredibly entree, it also makes for a delicious and eye-catching dessert!  One of my favorite peeps in the world, the soon-to-be Mrs. Kastorf, makes a delicious dessert pizza – and it won over her culinary genius/ fabulous finance!  (Hi, A & K!)

Here’s the Q+DD on Anjali’s Famous Dessert Pizza

Ingredients & Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Flatten cookie dough onto a 6-inch pizza pan.  Bake until firm to touch – about 11 to 15 minutes.  Cool.  In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese and sugar.  Spread the baked cookie with the cream cheese mixture and decorate with sliced fruit.  In a small bowl, combine melted white chocolate with chocolate syrup.  Top the pizza with remaining berries and chocolate mixture.  Slice and serve immediately.  Yields between 8 – 10 servings.

Here’s the finished product w/ microwaved sugar-free apricot preserves brushed onto it:

voila!

Enjoy with a glass of Chardonnay – immediately followed by an intense sugar rush (then crash) and a mandatory 30-minute cat nap.  Also delicious, but totally unhealthy, for breakfast!   Thanks, Anj!
