Who says pizza has to be savoury? Sometimes, the best way to end (or start, no judgement) a meal is with something unexpected. This sweet chocolate pizza is our kind of rebellion: golden, crisp dough meets creamy chocolate and toasted hazelnuts in a dessert that's impossible not to smile at.

Ingredients

For the dough:
  • 300 g strong flour
  • 200 ml lukewarm water
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 20 ml olive oil
  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar
For the chocolate cream:
  • 250 g toasted hazelnuts
  • 60 g cocoa powder
  • 100 ml hazelnut drink (or any plant milk)
  • 80 g date caramel or agave syrup
To finish:
  • Extra chopped hazelnuts or pistachios
  • Shavings of white or dark chocolate
  • Fresh fruit (optional — strawberries are a winner)

Preparation

  1. Place the flour in a bowl, leaving a hole in the centre.
  2. In a glass, mix the yeast with the oil, water and sugar.
  3. Place this mixture in the centre of the bowl with the flour and start mixing with a fork.
  4. When the ingredients begin to blend, knead for 5 minutes.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball and cover it with a cloth in a cool place for 3 minutes.
  6. After this time, flatten the dough on a floured surface into a circular shape.
  7. Prick the dough with a fork in different areas and bake at 18º for 2 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and decorate with the chocolate cream, chopped hazelnuts and pistachios and vegan white chocolate.
  9. For the chocolate cream, place all the ingredients in the food processor and blend until you obtain a smooth cream with a spreadable consistency.
  10. Taste to adjust ingredients to your liking.

Chef's tip!

Turn it into a sharing dessert! Bake smaller "mini pizzas" and let everyone top theirs however they want: nuts, fruit, or even a scoop of ice cream straight from the freezer.
