Ingredients
- 4 units of Pan-Fried Pizza Dough - Light Dough
- 150 g of semi-sweet chocolate bar
- 300 g of heavy cream
- 1 cup of sliced strawberries
- 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
- Chocolate sauce
- Whole strawberries
Preparation method
Step 1: Melting the Chocolate and Preparing the Cream
Start by melting the chocolate bar in a double boiler. This process ensures that the chocolate melts smoothly and without burning, maintaining the ideal creamy texture. Place the chopped chocolate or large pieces in a heatproof bowl and position it over a saucepan of hot (not boiling) water. While the chocolate melts, stir occasionally to ensure it melts evenly. Once the chocolate is completely melted, add the heavy cream and mix well until a smooth, homogeneous cream forms. This cream will be the delicious base that will give your skillet pizza its special touch. Set the cream aside so it can cool slightly while you prepare the dough.
Step 2: Preparing the Pizza Dough
To ensure that the pizza dough is easy to handle and doesn't break when folded, heat the Massa Leve Pan Pizza Dough discs in a non-stick frying pan. Simply heat each disc for about 20 seconds over low heat to soften the dough, making it more pliable. This will make them easier to fold, as well as resulting in a softer and tastier texture.
There's no need to brown the dough, just heat it enough to make it pliable. After that time, remove the dough from the pan and place it on a flat surface, ready to be filled with the chocolate cream.
Step 3: Filling and Assembling the Pizza
With the dough ready, spread a generous portion of the chocolate cream on half of each dough disc, leaving the edges free so that the filling doesn't leak when closing the pizza. After spreading the cream, fold the other half of the dough over the filling, creating a kind of "half-moon". Leave the dough and cream "sandwich" in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes over low heat so that the filling warms up and the dough gets a slight crispness. This step will ensure that the filling firms up a bit, making the pizza easier to handle and tastier. After this time, carefully remove the pizza from the pan.
Step 4: Finishing the Pizza with Strawberries and Chocolate Sauce
Now that the skillet pizza is assembled and warm, it's time to add the special touches. Remove the pizza from the skillet and carefully distribute the chopped strawberries over the exposed half of the dough. The sweetness and acidity of the fresh strawberries will perfectly balance the chocolate flavor.
To make the pizza even more irresistible, decorate with some of the chocolate sauce you prepared earlier. Finally, add some whole strawberries for an extra touch of charm. Serve immediately, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, for an even more delicious and refreshing combination.
Step 5: Suggested Variation
If you're looking for a healthier or higher-fiber option, try making your pizza with Massa Leve Whole Wheat Dough. This variation offers a more rustic flavor while still providing all the benefits of whole wheat flour. The whole wheat dough pairs perfectly with chocolate and strawberry cream, providing an equally delicious experience but with a lighter and more nutritious touch. Furthermore, the whole wheat dough will make your pizza even crispier, creating an irresistible combination of textures.
