Today I’m sharing with you a Cherry cobbler pizza adapted from Guy Fieri’s and our second recipe from the Pass the Cookbook Club. I mean seriously who doesn’t love pizza? Change that to “dessert pizza” and you really have my attention now. I am infatuated with this idea of dessert pizza, I can think of tons of ways to make them, in fact I made a S’mores dessert pizza on the grill a couple of Summers ago. When I saw this recipe from Guy Fieri’s cookbook, I decided right away I wanted to give this recipe a try. I had to make some changes to the original recipe because I didn’t have a couple of ingredients but I think the pizza turned out pretty darn good.
If you are like many us and have tons of cookbooks that you love to look at but seem to leave the recipes in the book then you should join us and begin cooking those recipes. Kita from Pass the Sushi got us all together on facebook, she chooses 3 recipes that we may try from a popular cookbook, then we make it and post our recipes or if you are not a blogger you can still share your recipe and photo on the facebook page. It’s great fun to see all the recipes and photos so please join us.
Cherry Cobbler Dessert Pizza
pizza dough
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup water
1 egg
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 1/2 active dry yeast
Topping Ingredients:
1 cup quick oats
2 T. brown sugar
2 T. butter
fine sea salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup sliced almonds (I used pecans didn’t have almonds)
1 can cherry pie filling 21 oz.
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese (I used cream cheese)
Directions:
Step 1: Put all the dough ingredients into a bread maker and turn to dough setting and let it do it’s job. You may buy pizza dough in the refrigerator section or freezer section at the grocery store if you like.
Step 2: When the dough is ready to use roll it out into a 11 inch circle on a floured surface. I then put my dough on parchment paper while I heated my pizza baking stone in the oven. It isn’t necessary to use parchment paper if you don’t want to.
Step 3: Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees and put pizza stone inside. If you don’t have a pizza stone just pre-heat oven.
Step 4: Prepare oatmeal topping by mixing together the oats, butter, cinnamon, brown sugar and nuts. (I really think it was too much oatmeal and you could half the ingredients here)
Step 5: When pizza dough is rolled out and on your parchment paper take a fork and prick the dough all over so it won’t bubble up when baking. Now put the canned cherry pie filling on top of the dough, then the oatmeal topping.
Step 6: Bake for 7-8 minutes on at 500 degrees F on the middle rack of your oven. I found that 500 degrees to be a little hot for the topping and mine burnt a little so I think you could put it in the oven and then turn the heat down to 450 F but you may have to cook it a little longer.
Step 7: When the pizza is done take it out of the oven and drop dollop of mascarpone cheese on top or use cream cheese, I really enjoyed this creamy cheese on top of the sweet pizza.
Oh my gosh. I am most definitely going to make a whole grain version of this when cherries are in season! We most definitely don’t have pie filling as here as pie doesn’t even exist. 😉 It looks SO good. I’m going to have to send this to my husband, a huge cherry lover. He doesn’t often get excited about sweets but I know he’ll go for this!
Thank you Erin, I hope you do make this yummy dessert for your hubby when cherries are in season 🙂
This is such a great idea, Suzanne! I haven’t had a dessert pizza in far too long…now I’m craving one! 🙂
thanks Laura 🙂
There was a restaurant I used to take my daughter when she was a little girl…just so she could get the cherry dessert pizza! I am so going to try this, Suzanne! I love it!
How fun Carol so glad this brought back good memories for you and I hope you try it out.

Awe thanks Valerie, warm days are ahead and I can’t wait.

I have to say that this gets me so excited for cherry season. What a pizza, Suzanne…look so delicious:))

Than you dear 🙂
What a brilliant dessert. It might be a pizza but it’s definitely begging me to take a bite.
Thanks Maureen, its one of those desserts that really goes together fast once you have the dough.
Oh, I love dessert pizza! This cherry cobbler variation sounds fantastic!
Gaw, your photos make this pizza look irresistable! Gorgeous!
This looks amazing!! I wish I could have participated this month, because this is what I wanted to make!!
I’ve been down with a cold lately and haven’t made my March recipe, but now, after seeing yours, I want to make the cherry pizza even more !
What a super fun recipe! Love the spin on traditional pizza and sweetening it up. I can only imagine how long it took to woof this down and there were probably no leftovers. 🙂
I’m really enjoying Kita’s selections for this series. This dessert pizza sounds wonderful!
You had me at pizza, I am such a pizza addict:-) Seriously I could eat pizza everyday, so definitely need to include a dessert pizza in the mix! It looks soooooo good! Hugs, Terra
I’m so happy I found this recipe! Think I might try using fresh cherries as soon as they come more in season.
I am totally making this once I find cherries! Gorg!!!
