Description
A delicious Raspberry Cheesecake Dessert Pizza that combines a sweet cookie crust with a creamy cheesecake layer and a fresh raspberry topping.
Ingredients
- 1 package (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1½ cups fresh raspberries
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-inch pizza pan or large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the sugar cookie dough with the flour. Press it evenly into a 10–12-inch circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Bake for 10–13 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Let the crust cool completely.
- Beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Beat in the egg until just combined.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edge.
- Bake for another 15–18 minutes, until the cheesecake layer is set. Cool completely.
- For the raspberry topping, combine raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring gently, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens.
- Let the raspberry topping cool for several minutes, then spread it over the cheesecake layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.
- For the optional glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together. Drizzle over the dessert pizza before serving.
Notes
- For the cleanest slices, chill the pizza thoroughly and use a sharp knife.
- Fresh raspberries can be added on top just before serving.
