This delightful dessert pizza is a fun and simple way to enjoy the flavors of strawberries and cream cheese. Using your Blackstone grill, you can create a sweet treat that’s perfect for parties or a family night in. Let’s dive into the steps!

Ingredients

• For the pizza crust:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the cream cheese layer:
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the topping:
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1/4 cup strawberry jam
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Start by preheating your Blackstone grill on medium heat. Make sure the grill is clean and ready for cooking.
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Then, cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks crumbly.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is combined into a dough. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour.
4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper.
5. Carefully place the dough on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
6. While the crust cooks, prepare the cream cheese layer. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
7. Once the crust is ready, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top.
8. Arrange the sliced strawberries over the cream cheese layer. For a glossy finish, warm the strawberry jam slightly and drizzle it over the strawberries.
9. Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for added color and flavor.
10. Slice the dessert pizza and serve it to your family and friends. Enjoy this sweet treat made on your Blackstone!
