Equipment

Ingredients

Crust

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

Sauce/Topping

8 oz (225 g) cream cheese softened (or warmed in the microwave until just soft enough to stir)
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup raspberry jam see note to make at home
¼ cup white chocolate chips

Streusel

3 Tablespoons (42 g) salted butter melted
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup (42 g) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon light brown sugar firmly packed

Instructions

Crust

Preheat oven to 450F (230C) and line a pizza pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine flour, instant yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add water and stir until ingredients are clinging together and dough forms a ball, then turn dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes/until smooth/elastic.
1 ½ cups (185 g) all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon instant yeast, ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅔ cup (155 ml) warm water
Use a rolling pin to roll dough out to a 10-12” circle and transfer to your pizza pan. Fold over the edges of the dough to form a thin crust.

Sauce/Topping

Combine softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl and stir until smooth, creamy, and completely combined. Spread evenly over pizza crust.
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
If your jam is too thick to be easily stirred with a spoon, pop it in the microwave and heat in 5-second intervals until it’s easy to stir. Dollop jam evenly over the “sauce” and use a toothpick to swirl over the crust.
¼ cup raspberry jam
Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and prepare your streusel.
¼ cup white chocolate chips

Streusel

Stir vanilla extract into melted butter. In a separate bowl, stir together flour and sugars. Add the butter mixture and use a fork to toss/claw the ingredients together until your mixture forms clumps and resembles coarse crumbs.
3 Tablespoons (42 g) salted butter, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, ⅓ cup (42 g) all-purpose flour, ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
Sprinkle streusel evenly over pizza. Transfer pizza to 450F (230C) oven and bake for 13-14 minutes or until streusel begins to turn golden brown.
Remove from oven, allow to cool for several minutes, then slice and serve warm (though leftovers are good cold, too!).

Notes

Raspberry Jam

To make homemade raspberry jam, combine ¾ cup fresh or frozen raspberries, 2 Tablespoons of granulated sugar and 2 Tablespoons of water in a small saucepan and cook, stirring frequently over medium heat until raspberries release their juices (about 5-7 minutes). Mash the berries and, if desired, pour through a fine-mesh strainer to remove seeds. Allow to cool before using, you will not use all of this.

Storing

Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
