4.9 from 16 reviews

This Chocolate Chip Dessert Pizza is a delightful twist on classic pizza, featuring a buttery cake mix base topped with rich milk chocolate chips and a sweet sugar blend. Perfect for dessert lovers, it’s easy to prepare with store-bought or homemade pizza crust and bakes to a golden, gooey finish that’s crispy on the edges and soft in the center.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)

Filling

  • 1 ½ cups yellow cake mix
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips

Topping

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for a perfect crust.
  2. Prepare Crust: Roll out the pizza crust onto a pizza pan and use a fork to poke holes throughout; this prevents bubbling. Bake the crust for 5 minutes to pre-cook slightly.
  3. Mix Cake Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and yellow cake mix until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  4. Mix Sugars: In a separate bowl, mix together granulated sugar and brown sugar, which will add a caramelized crunch to the topping.
  5. Spread Cake Mixture: Spread the cake mix and butter blend evenly over the pre-baked pizza crust, covering the surface but avoiding the edges.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips evenly over the cake mixture, then gently press them into the surface to ensure they stick while baking.
  7. Add Sugar Topping: Sprinkle the combined granulated and brown sugar mixture over the pizza, taking care to avoid the very edges to prevent burning.
  8. Bake: Place the pizza back into the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the topping is bubbly.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the dessert pizza cool for 5 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of melted butter.
  • You can substitute milk chocolate chips with semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for a less sweet version.
  • Allow pizza to cool slightly before slicing to ensure cleaner cuts.
  • Optional: drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce before serving for extra indulgence.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature and reheat slightly before serving.
