Cookie Pizza. This kind of tastes like the best donut/cookie ever.
Pizza dough for one pizza. (I used Trader Joe’s pre made which was perfect for the job.)
Cookie Dough (Recipe I used below) use your favorite. You’ll need approximately a half batch size. Get creative by using peanut butter, sugar, snickerdoodle, brownie, etc. I used chocolate chip.
Caramel Sauce (Recipe Below)
Chocolate Ganache (Below)
Cream Cheese Icing (Recipe Below).
Preheat oven to 400 - 425 (use temperature your pizza dough suggests)
I used parchment paper with a round pizza pan. I’d suggest that parchment paper is a great choice. If not I’d grease the pan. Press the dough into a circle or rectangle and leave it about a ½ inch thick overall. Press flat but don’t stretch, you want a little bready texture.
Press your blobs of cookie dough directly onto the pizza dough leaving a pizza dough around the outside edge. You want the blobs to be normal cookie dough blobs with less space in between and pressed down a little so they meet.
Place in oven and bake for 15 minutes and check. If cookie dough is semi-baked (you want gooey but not soupy) and pizza crust edge browning, it’s safe to remove it. If not give it another 5 minutes of so and check again.
Remove from oven and let cool ten minutes.
Drizzle with caramel sauce, the ganache, and then squirt on the icing.
Cookie Dough (this is a half recipe)
1/4 Cup room temperature coconut oil or softened Earth Balance
1/3 Cup sugar
1/3 Cup brown sugar
1 egg substitute of choice
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 Cup flour
1 /3 Cup chocolate chips
Cream coconut oil and sugar. Add baking powder, salt, egg and mix well. Add milk and vanilla and stir completely. Pour in flour and stir well.
Caramel Sauce Recipe
2 cups sugar (brown or white)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup agave nectar or corn syrup
1/2 cup full fat coconut milk
1 1/2 T. Earth Balance or coconut oil
pinch of salt
Over medium high heat bring the sugar, corn syrup/honey/agave and water to a boil while stirring very well to dissolve the sugar. Turn heat to low and simmer approximately 11-12 minutes until the color changes. Stir frequently. Remove heat. Add (carefully as the mixture is very hot) the milk, Earth Balance and salt and stir until smooth.
This makes approx 1 and ½ Cups. (You can halve the recipe if you want)
Ganache: Melt 1 cup chocolate chips with ⅓ cup non-dairy milk or full fat coconut milk.
Icing. Mix 2 - 3 ounces of non-dairy cream cheese with 2 cups of powdered sugar (if you want chocolate replace ⅓ cup of powdered sugar with ⅓ cup cocoa powder. Mix until combined. Add a splash of vanilla and stir well. If too thick add a splash of non-dairy milk and mix and repeat to get the consistency you are looking for.
