Description

This Chocolate Pizza is a beloved dessert treat that combines a dense, chewy chocolate crust with a smooth, glossy chocolate glaze. Unlike savory pizza, this sweet version relies on a base made from flour, sugar, eggs, and shortening, creating a texture similar to a brownie or cookie. The topping is a simple ganache-style glaze that hardens slightly to provide a satisfying snap. It is perfect for birthday parties, potlucks, or any occasion where you want to impress guests with a fun, shareable dessert. Customize the top with sprinkles, marshmallows, or your favorite candies for a personal touch.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) and grease a 12-inch pizza pan or round baking pan.
  2. Melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of shortening together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  4. Add the 2 eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and flour mixture, stirring vigorously with a fork or spatula until the batter is thick and uniform.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pizza pan, ensuring it reaches all edges.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. While the crust cools, prepare the glaze by combining 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons shortening, and 2 tablespoons water.
  10. Melt the glaze ingredients together, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy.
  11. Spread the chocolate glaze evenly over the cooled pizza crust.
  12. Immediately decorate with assorted candies, sprinkles, or other toppings before the glaze sets.
  13. Slice into wedges and serve.
