Tropical Fruit Dessert Pizza with Ricotta

Dessert pizza is a divisive topic, but when done right, it's brilliant. Here, tomato sauce is replaced by sweet-creamy ricotta, and the crispiness of the dough evokes a fruit tart. Water evaporates from the fruit baked at high heat, concentrating their flavors and slightly caramelizing them.

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the dough thinly.

Tip: Thin dough bakes up crispy, like a cracker or biscuit.
2

Spread with ricotta, then arrange the fruit slices on top.

Tip: The fat content of the ricotta protects the dough from the fruit's moisture.
3

Sprinkle with the coconut (it will toast in the oven).

4

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are brown. After baking, drizzle with honey and scatter with mint.

Tip: Never bake the honey or mint, as they will burn and become bitter.

Recipe FAQ

The dough got soggy, why?
The fruit released too much juice. Slice them thinner, or pat them dry with a paper towel before baking.
