Blueberry Blintz Pizza Pie
From the Kitchen of: Leah Klein (@ohbabyboston)
Ingredients:
-
2 pizza doughs from the refrigerator section of your local pizzeria or grocery store
-
1 package (7 1/2 oz) of farmer’s cheese
-
(You can use ricotta if you cannot find farmer’s cheese)
-
1 lemon
-
3 Tbsp. of mascarpone cheese
-
3 Tbsp. of granulated sugar
-
1 pint of blueberries
-
(Use any other seasonal fruit that strikes your fancy such as cherries, raspberries, peaches or nectarines)
- powdered sugar for serving
Directions:
-
Prepare the dough as above, but before placing it to cook, brush water over the top of the dough and sprinkle with sugar.
-
Preheat your grill to high or preheat your oven to 450° F. Split your dough in half and create two round pizzas on oiled heavy-duty tin foil or on an oiled cookie sheet or jelly roll pan. You can use a spray oil but I prefer to put a teaspoon of Canola oil on the foil and spread it with my hands or a paper towel. Partially bake the dough. This should take 10 minutes or so.
-
In a bowl, mix the farmer’s cheese, the zest of 1/2 of the lemon, mascarpone cheese and granulated sugar (or vanilla sugar if you have it).
-
Top the partially cooked pizza crusts with the cheese mixture and return to the grill or oven until the cheese begins to melt slightly and is heated through.
- Take the pizza off of the heat and top with fresh blueberries. Sprinkle the entire pizza with a dusting of powdered sugar and finish with a little bit more lemon zest.
Note: This pizza can be topped with pitted and sliced cherries, fresh berries and stone fruit that is not too juicy. If you are using stone fruit, I recommend grilling the stone fruit halves separately first and then slicing before topping the pizza.
