I make this Chocolate Pizza when I want a fun, indulgent dessert that feels playful and comforting at the same time. It’s a sweet twist on classic pizza, with a soft base topped generously with melted chocolate and finished with my favorite toppings.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it’s easy, customizable, and always a crowd-pleaser. I like how it combines familiar flavors in a creative way, and I enjoy letting everyone choose their own toppings. It’s perfect for sharing, and it always feels a little bit special without being complicated.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
pizza dough or sweet dough
butter
chocolate spread or melted chocolate
milk chocolate chips
dark chocolate chips
white chocolate chips
marshmallows
nuts or candy pieces
Directions
I start by preheating the oven and rolling out the dough into a round pizza shape. I place it on a baking sheet and brush it lightly with melted butter. I bake the base until it’s lightly golden and cooked through.
Once the crust is out of the oven, I spread the chocolate evenly over the warm base so it melts smoothly. I sprinkle over the chocolate chips, marshmallows, and any other toppings I’m using. I return the pizza to the oven briefly, just until everything is melted and gooey. I let it cool slightly before slicing.
Servings and timing
This chocolate pizza serves about 6 to 8 people. I usually spend around 15 minutes on prep and about 20 minutes baking. I like that it’s ready in under 40 minutes from start to finish.
Variations
I sometimes add sliced strawberries or bananas after baking for a fresh contrast. When I want extra crunch, I sprinkle crushed biscuits or pretzels on top. I’ve also made this with a cookie dough base instead of pizza dough for a richer dessert.
storage/reheating
I store leftover chocolate pizza in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I warm slices gently in the oven so the chocolate softens without overcooking the crust.
FAQs
Can I use store-bought pizza dough?
I often use store-bought dough, and it works perfectly for this recipe.
What chocolate works best?
I like using a mix of milk and dark chocolate for balanced sweetness.
Can I make this ahead of time?
I prefer making it fresh, but I can bake the base ahead and add toppings just before serving.
Is chocolate pizza served hot or cold?
I like it best warm when the chocolate is soft and melty.
Can kids help make this recipe?
I think it’s a great recipe for kids, especially when it comes to choosing and adding toppings.
Conclusion
I keep this Chocolate Pizza recipe for times when I want a dessert that’s fun, shareable, and completely indulgent. I like how it brings a sense of creativity to the table while still being easy, comforting, and full of chocolatey goodness.
