I can't think of a better way to showcase fresh summer raspberries than with layers of chocolate.
I mean, of course, after you eat your share of fresh berries right out of the bowl.
(And by 'bowl' I mean right out of the carton on the way home from the farmer's market).
Is it just me, or are the berries really good this year? I haven't had a single strawberry, cherry, raspberry or even blueberry that isn't absolutely stellar. So ripe, juicy and good for you. So, let's add chocolate (another health food, obviously!)
The crust for this pizza is a chocolate sugar cookie. The dough comes together quickly. Use your fingers to pat it out into a 6" circle, and pinch the sides slightly to create an edge to hold the melted chocolate.
After a quick bake in the oven, sprinkle chocolate chips on the dough immediately. Slide the whole thing back into the oven for 1 minute. Next, use a knife to spread the chocolate chips into a single melted chocolate layer. So easy! We didn't have to deal with double boilers or melting the chocolate in the microwave---the oven does all the work for us. All we do is spread, spread spread, and lick the knife when we're done. Spread, spread, lick, spread. Got it?
You can top your chocolate pizza with anything your little heart desires. I used toasted coconut and toasted slivered almonds for crunch. I drizzled melted white chocolate on top. I'm dreaming of a version with blueberries and orange zest. Or, cherries and salted caramel drizzle? Am I making you drool yet?

I CAN NOT believe that I am just finding your site. I am Southern as well from (TN) but living in Saudi Arabia for the past 5 years booo lol. Anyway, I also have a food site and have a few small batch recipes bc I hate making more than my husband and I can make. We have a son but he's picky and never usually eats what we do anyway. I made two of your cakes today for my husbands birthday and it was a hit, thanks.

"I can’t think of a better way to showcase fresh summer raspberries than with layers of chocolate." Girl, we are on the same wavelength! This is a gorgeous pizza, and must be heavenly to eat.

Aaah! This is just perfect. So pretty and obviously I love the small size! So cute. :)
And I think cream cheese needs to be involved here. It just does. ;) Definitely going to try this at some point!

This was incredible! Made it for dessert last night for the boyfriend and myself. Used muscavado sugar and coconut oil in place of sugar and butter. Ditched the almonds (he's not a fan) and then covered the whole thing with raspberries fresh from my grandparents' garden! I'm considering making this again tonight :)
