Base
- 1 Schär Gluten Free Pizza Crust
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Berry Jam
- 2 cups Raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- ½ Lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons Water
Crumble Topping
- ½ cup Gluten-Free Flour Blend
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 4 tablespoons Butter, very softened but not melted
Icing Drizzle
- 1 cup Confectioners Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- Prepare the Crust: Mix the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl to create a sweetened butter mixture. Brush this evenly over the entire surface of the Schär gluten-free pizza crust, reaching all the way to the edges to ensure a flavorful base.
- Make the Berry Jam: In a small stovetop pan, combine raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water. Simmer this mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency. For a smoother jam, strain through a sieve to remove seeds. Spread the prepared jam evenly over the buttered pizza crust just like you would a traditional pizza sauce.
- Prepare the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add the very softened butter and use the back of a fork or your hands to press and mix the ingredients together until the mixture resembles a crumbly texture with small pea-sized clumps.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the raspberry jam layer. Place the assembled pizza on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for about 8 minutes or until the crust edges and crumble topping turn golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and Drizzle: Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for approximately 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the confectioner’s sugar and milk together to form a smooth icing. Drizzle this icing over the cooled pizza in a crisscross or decorative pattern.
- Serve: Slice the dessert pizza into 8 slices and serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful gluten-free treat that balances tart raspberries with buttery crumble and sweet glaze.
Notes
- For a smoother jam, pressing it through a fine sieve helps remove raspberry seeds.
- You can substitute the Schär crust with any other gluten-free pizza crust if preferred.
- The crumble topping mixture should be soft but crumbly; avoid melting the butter to preserve texture.
- Adjust the sugar amounts in the jam and crumble according to your berry sweetness and personal taste.
- This dessert pizza is best enjoyed the same day for optimal crust crispness.
