Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired shape, then transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Place the dough in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and crisp.
  • In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Once the crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust. Distribute the fresh cherries on top.
  • Optional: Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over the cherries for added flavor.
  • Chill the dessert pizza in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing to enhance the flavors.

Notes

Cool the crust completely before spreading the cream cheese mixture for optimal texture. Consider chilling to meld flavors beautifully.
