Sweet Pizza Toppings

Hi

I have just found a recipe for using a pizza base for a dessert. I've honestly never heard of this! Have any of you tried doing this, if so what kind of toppings would you use apart from chocolate spread which I've seen?

Thanks - FS :) xx

We always did a fruit pizza using a sugar cookie crust. You could use the Betty Crocker choc chip cookie mix

8 oz softened cream cheese

1/3 cup sugar

1/2tsp vanilla

Mix together and spread on the baked crust. Arrange fruits in pretty patterns.

Melt 1/2 - 1 cup of jelly or preserves. Dot on top. If you use apple jelly, it's nice and clear. Use a raspberry jelly to give it a red/ pink tinge. If you are using bananas or apples, dip in some lemon & water first to keep from turning brown.

warm apples and cinnamon

poached pears

cream cheese with orange zest and top with assorted fruits

I'll bet you could pour a can of pie filling ( like cherry ) on top

I loooooove the cream cheese and pie filling style fruit on a pizza crust. Drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze when it comes out and you're in for a slice (or maybe whole pie) of heaven. A local pizza place makes these and I was thrilled beyond belief that my husband didn't like it. :D

I also like covering it in chocolate chips and marshmallows. Maybe everyone else would think it's overkill, but drizzling it with chocolate sauce can't hurt. (I use dark chocolate chips and Hershey's dark chocolate sauce. I have yet to check their gluten free status and will probably cry myself to sleep for a week if I can't have my milk mix.)

I haven't tried these yet on gluten free crusts but I'm sure they'll be just as delicious as they were before. I never thought of jelly, but a nice quince jelly dessert pizza is definitely in order.

Many years ago I went to a pizza place that also had dessert pizzas (using 'healthy whole wheat' dough! <_< ) But I recall that the one we tried had apples, cinnamon, walnuts and cheddar cheese. It was delicious! Now that you reminded me, I want to try to make a gluten-free version someday!

A gluten-free "sweet" pizza might serve as a nice alternative to a desert crepe. I could imagine the same toppings being used. In that vein, then, how about nutella and ripe banana. Maybe with some ice-cream on a super fancy night.

I have seen ones where they made them look like a real,pizza. Strawberry jam for the sauce, cream cheese for the cheese. Cut fruit roll-ups into circles for pepperoni, etc.

Spreading it with nutella is also great - then you can top with roasted hazelnuts. Homemade butterscotch is also lovely on sweet pizza.

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant b...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that...

      Brain fog

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Were you doing any of the new home construction yourself? Drywall compounds and adhesives used in construction have been known to cause problems for some celiacs.

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Hello @Scatterbrain and welcome to the forum I am sorry to hear you have had a return of your symptoms. My first thoughts were that stress can cause IBS-like symptoms - a friend of mine has been suffering a huge amount of stress and when that happens she gets diarrhea. But you say that you haven't got any bad abdominal issues, so perhaps you...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      By Kirita · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant but also reliant on others to make her food (at school and home) but she didn’t have this problem prior to the gluten challenge when she went strictly gluten-free. It really makes sense to me that the gluten challenge inflammation hasn’t healed and I will be asking her doctors about nutritional issues. I ask for anecdotal stories because the research surrounding the gluten challenge seems to be inconsistent and inconclusive (at least what I’ve been able to find!). Thank you so much for your response!

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that a subsequent exposure hit her so hard. The persistent fatigue is a major red flag that her body is still struggling, potentially indicating that the initial damage hasn't fully healed or that her system is now in a heightened state of reactivity. Rather than seeking anecdotal timelines from others, her experience underscores the critical need for close follow-up with her gastroenterologist to rule out other nutrient deficiencies commonly caused by celiac flare-ups, like iron or B12, and to consult with a dietitian to scrutinize her diet for any hidden sources of cross-contamination that could be perpetuating her symptoms. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Brain fog, like other celiac disease symptoms, does improve after you to 100% gluten-free, and supplementation will also help.
