Pizza ai Frutti Tropicali (Tropical Fruit Pizza)

Dessert pizza is a divisive topic, but if done well, it's brilliant. Here, tomato sauce is replaced by sweet-creamy ricotta, and the crispness of the dough evokes fruit tartlets. The water evaporates from the fruits baked at high heat, concentrating their flavour and slightly caramelising them.

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Roll out the dough thinly.

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

Spread with ricotta, place the fruits on top.

Tip: The fat content of the ricotta protects the dough from the moisture of the fruits.
3

Sprinkle with coconut (this 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 and mint, as they will burn and become bitter.

Recipe FAQ

The dough got soggy, why?
The fruits released too much juice. Cut them thinner, or blot the moisture from them before baking.
