A Fall themed dessert pizza should come as no surprise with how much you all know I love pizza! And truthfully, I’ll take any excuse to use those adorable mellowcreme pumpkins.
What is a cookie pizza?
Every good dessert pizza starts with a sweet cookie crust, usually sugar cookie, peanut butter cookie, or even a snickerdoodle cookie. It is the base for vanilla or chocolate frosting, caramel, or cream cheese frosting. Toppings can range from candies as with this Halloween cookie pizza to fruit or chocolate chips.
The crust for this Pumpkin Patch Dessert Pizza is rich, chocolately brownie cookie. Did you know that you can make cookies from a brownie mix? I used that same technique for this dessert and just spread the entire mix out into a crust!
Ingredients
- boxed brownie mix
- eggs
- flour
- unsalted butter
- chocolate frosting
- graham crackers
- OREOs
- Halloween sprinkles
- Mellowcreme pumpkins
- Green gel icing
Step by step
- Pour the brownie mix into a large mixing bowl. Add a cup of all purpose flour to thicken the dough so the cookies keep their shape.
- Stir in melted butter for moisture.
- Chill the dough for at least one hour or up to 24 hours.
- Pre-heat the oven and line a cookie sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Spread the dough using clean hands into a circle. You will want it to be about a centimeter thick.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the middle is set.
- Allow the brownie crust to cool. (Important: resist the temptation to just cut this brownie crust up right now and just eat it plain. Believe me, this is going to get even better!)
- Once completely cool, place crust on a platter or serving tray. Add a layer of chocolate frosting, you can make it as thick or thin as you prefer, I tend to think the more the better!
- Crush a few graham crackers and OREOs to create the “dirt” for your pumpkin patch. Sprinkle over the frosting along with some of the Halloween sprinkles.
- Place the mellowcreme pumpkins all over the pizza. Some growing straight up and down, some on their sides, some in little pumpkin clusters.
- The final step is to add the pumpkin vines and leaves. Use green gel icing to made curly vines to connect the pumpkins, add a few leaves on each little pumpkin and add tiny leaves along the vines.
Tips for Best Results
- feel free to use any kind of cookie for the crust, you can use pre-made refrigerated cookie dough to make this recipe even easier
- make sure the cookie is cooked thoroughly in the middle of the cookie crust, stick a toothpick in the middle to ensure it comes out clean
