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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for a perfect crust.
- 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.
- Mix Cake Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and yellow cake mix until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Mix Sugars: In a separate bowl, mix together granulated sugar and brown sugar, which will add a caramelized crunch to the topping.
- Spread Cake Mixture: Spread the cake mix and butter blend evenly over the pre-baked pizza crust, covering the surface but avoiding the edges.
- 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.
- Add Sugar Topping: Sprinkle the combined granulated and brown sugar mixture over the pizza, taking care to avoid the very edges to prevent burning.
- 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.
- 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.
