Rhubarb pizza may sound unusual at first, but once you taste this sweet and tangy creation, you'll be hooked. Combining the tartness of fresh rhubarb with a creamy, sweet topping, this pizza is a refreshing twist on traditional dessert pizzas.

Ingredients

1 pre-made pizza crust

1 cup rhubarb, chopped

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir until the rhubarb is evenly coated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to release some juices.
  3. Spread the rhubarb mixture evenly over the pizza crust.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender and the crust is golden brown.
  5. While the pizza is baking, prepare the cream cheese topping. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
  6. Once the pizza is out of the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes before spreading the cream cheese mixture over the top.
  7. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, then slice and serve.

Notes

  • Berry Twist: Add mixed berries like strawberries or blueberries to the rhubarb filling for a fruity variation.
  • Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle some chopped almonds or pecans on top of the cream cheese layer for added texture.
  • Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free pizza crust to make this recipe gluten-friendly.
  • Vegan: Swap the cream cheese for a dairy-free alternative like cashew cream or a vegan cream cheese option, and use a plant-based crust.
  • Storage: If you have leftovers, store the pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat the pizza in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave it, but the crust may lose some of its crispiness.
