A gooey delight of a dessert
Aside from a regularly consumed beverage, coffee has also long been associated with showpiece events (the recent Golden Globe’s come to mind) as well as deserts. But we guarantee that you will have not heard, or seen, a use for coffee like this!
Given that posh things have come into fashion recently, especially variations of the noble burgers which has made an impact upon culinary menus, many people tip the pizza to have a renaissance this year.
Well, while that may be true. This recipe certainly is not part of that trend. But nevertheless, it is very fun.
The Dessert Pizza.
Ingredients
- Make at home pizza dough kit (Or, alternatively, make your own!)
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons of strongly brewed coffee
- Some flour
- 1 packet of nuts – We recommended macadamia or cashew nuts
- 1 packet of chocolate covered coffee beans
- 1 packet of sweets – chocolate based ones or marshmallows work best!
Instructions
- Dust your preparation area with flour and lightly grease a pizza tray.
- Follow the instructions on the pizza dough kit (or make your own)
- Add in the brown sugar, coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg to the mix
- Roll the dough out until it is firm and begins to stick to your fingers
- Use some more flour and roll the dough out into a base.
- Bake for around seven minutes or so, then add the nuts, chocolate beans and sweets.
- Put the pizza back in the over for a further seven minutes, or so, or until all the chocolate is a big gooey, sumptuous mess.
- Enjoy! (Paper napkins are probably useful)
This enjoyable dessert is one that we, obviously, would not recommend to become a staple on the kitchen table, but it is one that will the kids – and big kids – will enjoy.
With it being quite a hands on (read messy) concoction, children will love help creating this coffee chocolate take on the pizza. Just, as always, ensure they are supervised at all times!
