Ingredients

Crust

1 ½ cups (185 g) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon instant yeast
¼ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup (155 ml) warm water

“Sauce”

8 oz (225 g) cream cheese
¼ cup (50 g) sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (175 g) mini chocolate chips

Streusel

3 Tablespoons butter melted
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup + 1 Tablespoon (50 g) all-purpose flour
⅓ cup (66 g) sugar
2 Tablespoons brown sugar tightly packed

Instructions

Crust

Preheat oven to 500F (260C) and line a pizza pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt and stir well.
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon instant yeast
Add water and stir until ingredients are mostly combined. Use your hands to continue to combine until the dough is cohesive enough to form a ball.
⅔ cup warm water
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes (until elastic). If needed, add additional flour 1 Tablespoon at a time if dough is too sticky and sticks stubbornly to your hands.
Allow dough to rest for 10 minutes.
Roll dough out into a 12” circle and transfer to prepared pizza pan. Pinch edges or gently fold over to form a crust.

Toppings

Prepare your cream cheese “sauce” by cutting your cream cheese into 8 pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 10 second intervals, stirring between each, until cream cheese is easy to stir.
8 oz cream cheese
Add sugar and vanilla extract, stir well.
¼ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Spread cream cheese “sauce” evenly over pizza dough.
Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly overtop and press/spread into the “sauce”. Prepare your streusel.
1 cup mini chocolate chips

Streusel

Add vanilla extract to melted butter, stir, and set aside.
3 Tablespoons butter, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, use a fork to mix together flour and sugars.
⅓ cup + 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup sugar, 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
Add butter mixture and use a fork to combine until mixture resembles coarse crumbles.
Sprinkle evenly over pizza
Bake pizza in 500F (260C) oven for 7 minutes or until streusel turns a golden brown.
Remove from oven, allow to cool for several minutes, then slice and serve.
