Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

All-purpose flour forms the base of the dessert pizza, providing structure while keeping the texture soft and chewy.

Butter adds richness and helps create a tender, cookie-like crust.

Brown sugar contributes moisture and a deep, caramel-like sweetness.

Granulated sugar balances the flavor and supports even browning.

Egg binds the dough together and adds richness.

Vanilla extract enhances the overall sweetness and rounds out the flavors.

Baking soda helps the dessert pizza rise slightly and stay soft.

Salt balances sweetness and intensifies the chocolate flavor.

Chocolate chips are the star ingredient, melting into pockets of rich chocolate throughout the crust.

Milk chocolate or chocolate chunks are optional for extra indulgence on top.

Whipped cream is optional for serving and adds a light, creamy contrast.

Chocolate sauce is optional but perfect for drizzling before serving.

Directions

Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lining a round pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.

Press the dough evenly into a round shape on the prepared pan, leaving the edges slightly thicker for a soft crust. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is just set.

Remove from the oven and allow the dessert pizza to cool slightly. Add additional chocolate, drizzle with chocolate sauce, or top with whipped cream as desired. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
