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?

What a great use of raspberries! That combination with chocolate is stellar and I do love a good dessert pizza.

Is it terrible that I would leave all the "healthy" stuff off and eat it as a big chocolate cookie? Yep, I would totally be down with that.

You know when you stumble across a blog and immediately add it to your feed reader because you just KNOW it's going to be a firm favourite? Well, I just had that with this.
Chocolate. Raspberry. Pizza. AMAZING.

Holy Hannah. This just came into my inbox and I think the baby woke up from my excitement! I might take a note out of Max Brenner's book and use Nutella for the "sauce", but I want to make this for breakfast.

This looks like a great dessert to double and serve to dinner guests. And I'm already thinking of all the topping combinations that would work well together!

Chocolate pizza? What an awesome idea. I love that the base is a proper cookie/dessert not a pizza-like dough. And am totally with you on fruits - in love with pretty much all berries out there at the moment.
