Nutella Pizza with Mascarpone
Say hello to the dessert pizza of your dreams: strawberry Nutella pizza with a creamy mascarpone and Greek yogurt sauce. Easy and delicious!
Ingredients
- 16 oz pizza dough* (rested at least 1 hour at room temperature)
- 2 Tbsp turbinado sugar (optional)
For the sauce:
- 4 oz mascarpone cheese
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
For the toppings:
- ⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup Nutella hazelnut spread
- 8 oz strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Using your hands, stretch the pizza dough to 12 inches in diameter. Place it on a pizza stone or parchment paper-lined sheet pan. Sprinkle the unbaked crust with turbinado sugar if desired.
- Bake pizza dough according to package instructions (or recipe instructions, if homemade). (I baked mine at 475° Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes). Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, place mascarpone cheese in a bowl. Mash it with a spoon until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
- Spread the mascarpone yogurt sauce over the baked crust, leaving the outside crust bare. Arrange sliced strawberries over the sauce.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate chips in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each interval, until smooth. Stir in Nutella until combined.
- Place the chocolate Nutella mixture in a piping bag or zippable plastic bag with a little bit of the corner cut off. Pipe the mixture over the pizza as desired.
- Add any additional toppings you want, then slice and serve!
