Cookies and cream dessert pizza
I’m so sorry. I started the week so healthily with vegan lentil meatballs and just two days later, before the week’s even over, I’ve ended up at this. This ridiculous, delicious cookies and cream dessert pizza (if ‘dessert pizza’ isn’t one of the best two word phrases in the English language, I don’t know what is). I don’t generally have a sweet tooth and I rarely crave sugar… but when I do make dessert, I go all out. Otherwise what’s the point?
You can make a dessert pizza out of all sorts of things, as long as it vaguely follows the standard base + sauce + toppings formula.
This time, I used a huge chocolate chip cookie as the base. I used shop-bought cookie dough – I always see that stuff in the shops, and never usually have an excuse to buy it, so I couldn’t resist. Feel free to make your own if you prefer!
My ‘sauce’ was actually marshmallow fluff. If you’ve never had this stuff, it’s the most sickly, sticky stuff ever – and it’s amazing. Real marshmallows aren’t usually vegetarian, but marshmallow fluff is, so go crazy. Spread it on thick!
As for the toppings for my dessert pizza, I went for crumbled Oreos and some milk and white chocolate. If you’re not bothered about sticking to the ‘cookies and cream’ theme, you could use whatever biscuits, chocolate bars or sweets you fancy – you could even drizzle something delicious over the top. This really isn’t the time to be modest.
There’s plenty more dessert pizza inspiration over on the Beko website, if you feel like mixing it up a bit. I’m personally drooling over the caramel apple pizza – I enjoy feeling virtuous when there’s fruit in my dessert (never mind all that caramel sauce).
I know a dessert pizza probably isn’t the sort of thing you’d cook for an everyday dinner – this one contains an awful lot of chocolate for a Thursday evening – but I think it would make a great alternative to a birthday cake. To be honest, I can usually take or leave cake (I know, don’t hate me), so I’d be pretty happy with a dessert pizza instead. Especially piled high with Oreos and two kinds of chocolate.
What would you put on your dessert pizza?
Cookies and cream dessert pizza
Ingredients
- 300 g cookie dough (enough to make a pizza base measuring around 6 inches in diameter)
- 2 tbsp marshmallow fluff
- 4 Oreos
- 4 squares milk chocolate
- 4 squares white chocolate
Instructions
- Line a baking tray with non-stick paper, and lightly grease.
- Cut the cookie dough into chunks, and press it onto the paper to form a rough circle. Bake according to the instructions on the packet - mine took around 10-15 minutes at 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F).
- When the cookie is just cooked, set aside.
- When it has completely cooled, spread it with marshmallow fluff.
- Roughly chop the Oreos, milk chocolate and white chocolate, and sprinkle over the cookie.
- Cut into slices to serve.
My s/daughter brought in a massive oreo cookie cheesecake but it was wasted on me. I don’t like chocolate cake. What an oddball I am! Still, everyone else in my family would devour this in seconds!
You don’t like chocolate cake?! I’m not generally the biggest cake fan, but if it’s chocolatey, that’s another story entirely ;)
OMG! My love for a good pizza just got more intense. So going to try this!
Oh my goodness that pizza looks tremendous x
Oh my gosh! I’ve never seen or heard anything like it! It looks AMAZING! Currently drooling..
OMG desert pizza are you kidding me that looks like the best thing ever! I need it in my life right now!
Now THIS is how you should end a week! As you know I’m not a huge cheese lover so this is my idea of a perfect pizza! x
This looks and sounds amazing! I would substitute the Oreo’s for something else though, just because I am not a fan. The rest is right up my street!
You can use whatever toppings you like really :)
Oh wow my kids would go mad for this! They would love it! I’ll keep it in mind next time they have a treat x
OMG! How did I not know that dessert cookies are a thing?! This looks SO good! x
Now I am not a fan of pizza, but this might just change my mind, wow x
Oh my gosh this looks like HEAVEN! I don’t think I’d be able to stop if I started though!
This looks delicious, my daughter would love to try something like this xx
Oh my, that looks amazing
Oh wow that pizza looks amazing – I can’t imagine anything better than chocolate and pizza! yum!
Oh my goodness – this looks incredible! I *have* to make this soon, I know my family would love it!
Oh my kids had a chocolate pizza in Camden once and have been going on about it ever since. Will have to give this a try.
This looks AMAZING and not even that unhealthy! I’m definitely going to have to try my hand at making this x
Haha I’m not sure about not that unhealthy, but thanks!
Oh my lord..delicious recipe ! My daughter is crazy for cookie and cream ice cream..right now I am sharing this link with her :)
Well doesn’t this just look amazing! I’ve really fancied trying to make a giant cookie and cut it into wedges like a pizza but with the toppings this one has just gone one further! Love it!
This looks epic! I love pizza and cookie dough so this is a match made in heaven! I made a nutella and banana pizza lately which was sooooo good!
Oooh that sounds lovely!
Wow, I love this idea and I can just see how easy it would be to finish the whole lot off. I think I will do this for my next tea party and picnic. It makes a great sharing dessert :)
You definitely need someone to share it with, it would be very tempting to polish it all off ;)
Oh this looks so good. I want a slice! This is such a good idea!
Oh wow, your dessert pizza looks right up my street. I never find sweet pizzas appealing, but this is something else, Becca! Stunning photos, too :)
Yes please a million times over, this looks just gorgeous! x
That looks fantastic, I wish i had all the ingredients as i’d make it now.
omg this looks awesome, i know ide make a pig of myself lol x
Haha yes it’s not exactly dainty ;)
I love a swizza (as I call it!) and have been known to make one or two in my time. Love the cookie crust!
Ooh swizza! I like it.
Drooling. You gotta stop doing it to me Becky, I can’t take it… this is another one that I am going to have to make this weekend! H x
Oh my goodness, I would never have thought of a dessert pizza but I definitely have to have a go at making one now! :)
Oh my God! That looks amazing! I want it! Dominos need to start offering this as a dessert option!
Have you tried the Dominos chocolate cookies?! SO GOOD!
WOW that looks amazing!!! My kids would go crazy for that, as would I, maybe I will give it a go on the next special occasion!!
I have never tried marshmallow fluff, which is something I need to sort out. My Daughter would love this pizza, maybe I will make it when she next has a sleepover, the blondies sound lovely as well x
Oh my god, this made me crave things so much! And beautiful pictures too, I should really quit eating so much sweets! Now I just have to make it haha, much love X
Hah – definitely not a time to be modest LOL!! Love this idea – it would be great for a kids’ party too!
You’re right actually – could get them all to help decorate :)
I was thinking the same thing. My 5 year old has a birthday coming up too!
If you decide to give it a go let me know how you get on, I’d love to hear about your version! :)
OH My goodness. I will HAVE to do this and I know a friend who will also go gaga for it so will make sure to show her. Thanks!
This pizza looks so good. I will try this recipe.
This looks absolutely incredible and definitely something I need to make! No such thing as too much chocolate. x
Couldn’t agree more ;)
Oh my I wouldn’t mind that desert right now! Looks so delicious. My kind of desert
A dessert cookies and cream pizza? Now that sounds like heaven! I don’t have a sweet tooth but this is something I would love to try. My husband and daughter will love it!
