Best Chocolate Hazelnut Fruit Pizza Recipes

CHOCOLATE PIZZA

Steps:

• Position the oven rack on the bottom of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the dough to a 9-inch-diameter round. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Using your fingers, make indentations all over the dough. Brush the dough with butter, then bake until the crust is crisp and pale golden brown, about 20 minutes. Immediately spread the chocolate-hazelnut spread over the pizza then sprinkle all the chocolate chips over. Bake just until the chocolate begins to melt, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the hazelnuts over the pizza. Cut into wedges and serve.
• Pizza Dough:
• Mix the warm water and yeast in a small bowl to blend. Let stand until the yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes. Mix the flour and salt in a food processor to blend. Blend in the oil. With the machine running, add the yeast mixture and blend just until the dough forms. Turn the dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl and turn the dough to coat with the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm draft-free area until the dough doubles in volume, about 1 hour. Punch the down dough and form into ball. The dough can be used immediately or stored airtight in the refrigerator for 1 day.

CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT FRUIT PIZZA

Steps:

• Place pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 450. Divide dough into portions and press each portion into a flat round on parchment paper. Let dough rest for 10-15 minutes. Bake pizza crusts for 8-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the crusts. Allow crusts to cool for a few minutes before topping.
• Meanwhile set out bowls of assorted fruit and nut butters. Spread a layer of chocolate hazelnut butter (or other nut butter) on top, leaving a border around the edges. Arrange fruit decoratively on top and finish with a drizzle of melted chocolate, if desired.

• Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden and puffed. Cool for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pipe enough whipped cream into a measuring cup to measure 2 1/2 cups (625 mL); stir into sour cream until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Spread cream mixture over pizza base and top with bananas and strawberries.
• Warm hazelnut spread in the microwave on High for 30 seconds or until pourable. Drizzle spread over the fruit. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with additional whipped cream (if desired).

DESSERT PIZZA WITH VARIATIONS: GRAPE AND PINE NUT, APPLE AND GORGONZOLA, MASCARPONE AND CHOCOLATE-HAZELNUT SPREAD

Steps:

• For the dough: Add the water to a bowl. Then add the yeast a little at a time and break up the cube of yeast with your hands. Let the yeast fully dissolve in the warm water and let stand for 2 minutes.
• Add the flour on a smooth work surface and create a well in the center of the flour. Slowly add the yeast-water mixture, olive oil, and salt until the flour has absorbed the liquid. Knead the dough until the mixture becomes an even dough consistency. If necessary, add a little more flour to absorb any excess liquid.
• Divide the dough into 4 equal portions to make individual-size pizzas. Place on a lightly-floured surface or pan and cover with a cloth. Let rest for about an hour at room temperature or until the dough has doubled in size. Yield: 4 servings
