Ingredients
- 4 units of Skillet Pizza Dough Light Crust
- 150 g semisweet chocolate bar
- 300 g of cream
- 1 cup (tea) of sliced strawberries
- 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
- Chocolate syrup
- 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, while maintaining the ideal creamy texture. Place the chopped or chunked chocolate in a heatproof bowl and place it over a pan of hot (not boiling) water. As the chocolate melts, stir occasionally to ensure that it melts evenly. Once the chocolate is completely melted, add the cream and mix well until it forms a smooth, even cream. 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 your pizza dough is easy to handle and doesn’t break when you fold it, heat the Pizza Dough Sheets in a non-stick frying pan. Simply heat each sheet for about 20 seconds over low heat to soften the dough, making it more pliable. This will make it easier to fold, and will also make the dough softer and more flavorful.
There is no need to brown the dough, just heat it enough so that it becomes malleable. After this 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
Once the dough is 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 out when you close 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 frying pan for 2 to 3 minutes, on low heat, so that the filling heats up and the dough gets a slight crunch. This step will ensure that the filling firms up a little, making the pizza easier to handle and tastier. After this time, carefully remove the pizza from the frying pan.
Step 4: Finishing the Pizza with Strawberries and Chocolate Sauce
Now that your skillet pizza is assembled and piping hot, it’s time to finish it off with some special touches. Remove the pizza from the skillet and carefully spread the chopped strawberries over the exposed half of the dough. The sweetness and tartness of the fresh strawberries will perfectly balance the flavor of the chocolate.
To make the pizza even more irresistible, decorate it with a little of the chocolate sauce you prepared earlier. Finally, add some whole strawberries to give it 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: Suggest Variation
If you're looking for a healthier or higher-fiber option, try making pizza with Whole Wheat Light Dough. This variation has a more rustic flavor while still offering all the benefits of whole wheat flour. Whole wheat dough pairs very well with chocolate cream and strawberries, providing an equally delicious experience, but with a lighter and more nutritious touch. In addition, whole wheat dough will make your pizza even crispier, creating an irresistible combination of textures.
