Ingredients

• Pizza Dough: 1 pre-made or homemade (store-bought works well, or use your favorite pizza dough recipe)

• Butter: 2 tablespoons, melted

• Brown Sugar: 2 tablespoons

• Chocolate Chips: 1 cup (milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate, depending on your preference)

• Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon

• Cinnamon: ½ teaspoon (optional, for a touch of warmth)

• Mini Marshmallows: ½ cup (optional, for extra gooeyness)

• Whipped Cream or Ice Cream: for serving (optional)

Directions

• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats up.
• Prepare the Pizza Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface until it’s about ¼ inch thick. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
• Add the Base Layer: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Brush this mixture generously over the pizza dough, ensuring even coverage, and sprinkle cinnamon on top if desired.
• Add Chocolate Chips: Scatter the chocolate chips evenly across the dough. You can add as much or as little as you like based on your chocolate craving.
• Optional Toppings: Add mini marshmallows at this stage if you want a s’mores-like twist. You can also sprinkle crushed graham crackers for extra crunch.
• Bake: Bake the pizza for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the chocolate chips are melted and gooey.
• Serve: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Slice it up and serve with a drizzle of chocolate syrup, whipped cream, or even a scoop of ice cream for a next-level dessert experience.

Notes

• 1. Use a Pre-Baked Crust for Convenience:
  If you're short on time, You can use a pre-baked pizza crust (like flatbread or a dessert pizza base). This saves time and ensures a crispy, ready-to-go foundation.
• 
  2. Chill the Dough for a Crispier Crust:
  If you're making homemade dough, chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes before rolling it out. This helps the dough bake more evenly and gives you a crispier crust.
• 
  3. Add a Cookie Dough Twist:
  For extra indulgence, dot small pieces of raw edible cookie dough on top of the pizza before baking. They will bake up gooey and delicious alongside the chocolate chips.
• 
  4. Balance Sweetness with a Pinch of Salt:
  Sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt or flaky salt over the chocolate chips before baking. This adds a contrasting flavor and brings out the richness of the chocolate.
• 
  5. Experiment with Different Toppings:
  Nut Lovers: Add crushed pecans, walnuts, or almonds for crunch.
  Fruit Lovers: Fresh strawberries or sliced bananas can balance the sweetness of the chocolate.
  S’mores-Style: Add mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers for a s’mores-inspired dessert pizza.
• 
  6. Watch the Baking Time:
  Since it’s a dessert pizza, you want the chocolate chips to melt without burning the crust. Bake until the edges are golden brown and the chips are just melted, usually around 8-10 minutes.
• 
  7. Serve Warm with Ice Cream:
  For ultimate indulgence, serve your dessert pizza warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce. The contrast between warm pizza and cold ice cream is irresistible!
• 
  8. Cut Pizza Before Adding Delicate Toppings:
  If you’re adding delicate toppings like fresh fruits or ice cream, cut the pizza into slices before adding these extras to prevent them from getting messy while slicing.
