Peaches and Cream Sheet Pan Dessert Pizza
Use store-bought pizza dough and frozen peaches to create a dessert that’s quick enough to make even on a weeknight. Macerated peaches (or whatever seasonal fruit you fancy!), a tangy-sweet cream spread and candied nuts take it to the next level.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces sliced frozen peaches
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 lemon, zested
- all-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 pound store-bought pizza dough, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup apricot jam
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup candied nuts
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Combine the peaches, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, cinnamon and lemon zest in a medium bowl and let sit to macerate until the peaches are soft and juice has collected in the bowl, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough on a half-sheet pan (18-by-13-inches) into a 12-inch round. Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Brush the hot crust with the apricot jam. Transfer to a serving platter or cutting board to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat the heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, sour cream, vanilla and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed until thick and soft peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a small offset spatula to spread the cream on top of the jam leaving a 1-inch border. Use a slotted spoon to spoon the peaches on top of the cream, reserving the liquid in the bowl so it does not make the crust soggy. Sprinkle with the candied nuts.
- To serve, slice the dessert pizza with a pizza wheel. Drizzle each slice with some of the reserved juice from the peaches.
