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

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.
