Nutella Fruit Pizza

 

This isn't my first Nutella recipe I have posted so all of you should know how much I love this stuff!  I first made this last summer and haven't been able to stop thinking about it and I have been waiting for the good fruit to be in season so I could make this again!  It is super easy, fast and oh so amazingly good!  Now, I know I say that about a lot of the desserts I make, but for this one it really isn't an exaggeration!

It is also pretty flexible, you can change up the fruits based on your preferences. It can also make one pretty big pizza plus a small-medium sized one so it can feed a crowd.  I'm sure you could also spread the crust onto a cookie sheet and cut into squares for even more servings!

To start, take a yellow cake mix and mix it with just 2 eggs and some oil, and not as much as the box.  Plan on ignoring the box instructions!  The dough will be thick.

This is when you need to dig in with your hands.  Take a little over 2/3 of the dough and spread it out on your pan.  Make it slightly thinner than you would think as the dough rises and gets puffy during baking. Make sure the edges aren't too thin though, makes getting it off the pan tricky.

Now with the leftover dough, you can make smaller pizza's....

or just eat it, I won't judge!  Or bake it and eat it like giant sugar cookie!  Once baked this crust tastes like a sugar cookie, making it a perfect crust!  Once the dough has cooled just a little, you can go ahead and spread on the Nutella.  If it starts pulling up, wait a minute and let the Nutella soften and melt a little.

 Spreading Nutella isn't actually super easy, so it can be made easier by doing it when the crust is still warm.  Get it spread, leaving a small edge to grab hold of.

 Next you add the fruit, I like strawberries, banana's, blueberries, raspberries and kiwi.  You could pick any fruit combo you want.  Keep in mind though, if this is going to sit for a bit, banana's will turn brown and any juicy fruit will soften the crust up, potentially too much.  This is better served right away, for both of those reasons.  When I was slicing fruit in advance I patted down my strawberries to get some of the moisture out.

Slice it like you would a pizza and serve.  Mine was thick enough everyone could pick up each slice and eat it like a slice of a pizza.  These are pizza's from two different days, they both just look so pretty!
Have fun with this and enjoy it more than once this summer!
