Dessert Pizza

1 lb pizza dough (store bought or homemade from a typical recipe-- whole wheat dough worked pretty well)
2 tea melted butter

Roll dough into approx. a 9" round. Transfer the dough to a sprayed baking sheet & make indentations all over the dough. Brush with the melted butter, and bake at 450' until pale golden brown & crisp (about 20 minutes). 

Topping: 
1/3 C cream cheese 
A couple spoonfuls powdered sugar (to taste- more powdered sugar= sweeter)
Sliced strawberries or other berries
Nutella (heat in microwave OUTSIDE of jar) or melted chocolate chips 

microwave cream cheese for 15ish seconds in the microwave- just until it is smooth & easy to work with.  Add the powdered sugar and mix well.  Spoon onto the top of the cooked pizza crust & smooth out.  Add the berries and drizzle with the Nutella or chocolate.

Cut and serve : ) 

Variations of toppings:  banana with nuts and coconut ???

And I got the whole wheat pizza dough recipe from;
