Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

For the Topping

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Icing

  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp milk (or more for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the pizza dough to a golden brown.
  2. Prepare the dough: On a floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into your preferred shape—either a circle or rectangle, depending on your baking sheet or pizza stone size.
  3. Butter the dough: Place the rolled dough on a greased baking sheet or pizza stone and brush it evenly with the melted butter to add flavor and help the cinnamon sugar stick.
  4. Apply cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough to create the signature sweet topping.
  5. Bake: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust turns golden and the sugar has melted into a bubbly, caramelized layer.
  6. Make the icing: While the pizza bakes, whisk together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Adjust the milk quantity to achieve a drizzle-friendly consistency.
  7. Finish and serve: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the warm pizza, slice it up, and serve immediately for a warm, indulgent dessert.

Notes

  • You can customize the dessert by adding nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips before baking for extra texture and flavor.
  • If you prefer a crispier crust, bake on a pizza stone preheated in the oven.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer, creamier icing.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat briefly before serving.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives and use non-dairy milk.
