Sweet Strawberry Pizza

Strawberry Pizza (5)

Pizza for dessert? Yes please! We absolutely had to try this recipe from High 5 magazine. It can take some searching to find frozen pizza dough that is vegan, but Wholly Wholesome and Gillian’s both fit the bill. Be sure to thaw the dough ahead of time, or you’ll be caught with frozen dough when you promised your little chef that it’s pizza time!

Adults: First line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Next, I enlisted Travis’s help to roll our dough into a large oval. The dough was a little finicky, but between rolling, patting, and stretching we got it into a rather free-form oval/rectangle on our baking sheet.

Travis loved the next step – brushing 2 tablespoons melted Earth Balance butter over the top of the dough – this was like painting with butter!

I had sliced 12 strawberries for him ahead of time, so all Travis had to do was arrange them over the top of the dough. I stepped in just to make sure they didn’t overlap too much, but otherwise left this step up to him.

Finally, we combined 2 tablespoons coconut sugar and 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkled evenly over the strawberries.

Adults: Bake the pizza at 375 degrees F for 23 minutes. Dessert is served!

Mini Cheese Pizzas

Mini Cheese Pizzas

A mix of non-dairy milk, nutritional yeast and miso makes a wonderfully cheesy sauce to go over these individual pita pizzas. Try the cheese sauce anywhere else you’d like too – it’s killer over french fries!

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 whole wheat pitas
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon yellow miso
  1. Spoon 2 tablespoons pizza sauce over each pita; set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the milk, nutritional yeast, flour, lemon juice, and miso. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until bubbly, stirring frequently.
  3. Divide the cheesy sauce evenly over the pizzas. Bake at 425 degrees F for 5 minutes, then let cool slightly before slicing and eating.
