Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base & Stuffed Crust
- 1 storebought vegan pizza dough
- 100 g vegan chocolate chips (for stuffing the crust)
Toppings
- ¼ batch vegan Nutella
- 140 g vegan chocolate chips (for sprinkling on top)
- 250 g fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 50 g granulated sugar
- Fresh mint sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Macerate the strawberries: Slice the strawberries into quarters and/or halves and add them to a mixing bowl with the granulated sugar. Stir well to coat all the berries in sugar evenly, then let them sit for at least 20 minutes. This process helps to draw out their juices, creating a syrupy texture that enhances the topping flavor.
- Prepare the dough: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the pizza dough packaging. Place the premade vegan pizza dough on a pizza tray or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow some dough to hang slightly over the edges, as this will be used for stuffing and folding the crust.
- Stuff the crust: Evenly scatter 100 g of vegan chocolate chips around the edge of the pizza dough, about 1-2 inches from the edge, leaving enough dough to fold over. Fold the outer edge of the dough over the chocolate chips, pressing firmly along the inner edge with your fingers to seal the stuffed crust. Use a fork to poke holes into the dough to prevent puffing during baking. Then, bake the pizza in the preheated oven following the dough packet’s recommended baking time.
- Add toppings: As soon as the pizza comes out of the oven, spread the prepared vegan Nutella evenly on top of the baked crust so it melts and becomes spreadable. Sprinkle additional vegan chocolate chips on top for extra texture and chocolaty goodness. Finally, arrange the syrupy macerated strawberries across the pizza and garnish with fresh mint sprigs for a burst of color and freshness.
- Storage: This Vegan Strawberry Chocolate Pizza is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have any leftovers, store slices in an airtight container or cover them with foil on a plate and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Reheat gently before serving for the best taste experience.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of sugar depending on your preferred sweetness and the natural sweetness of the strawberries.
- If vegan Nutella is not available, you can substitute with any vegan chocolate-hazelnut spread or make your own.
- Make sure to poke holes in the folded crust to avoid excessive puffing during baking.
- Use fresh, firm strawberries for best results.
- This recipe is gluten-free only if the storebought pizza dough is certified gluten-free.
- For an extra touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves to complement the sweet and rich chocolate flavors.
