Instructions

Prepare the Oven and Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired size and thickness, then transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the Crust: Bake the dough in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding the toppings.
Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Spread the Toppings: Spread the chocolate hazelnut spread evenly over the slightly cooled pizza crust. Then, dollop and spread the cream cheese mixture over the chocolate hazelnut layer, creating a marbled or swirled effect if you like.
Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top of the pizza.
Final Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the assembled dessert pizza to add extra sweetness and a decorative touch.
Serve: Let the dessert pizza set for a few minutes to allow the toppings to slightly firm up, then slice into 8 pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

You can substitute the store-bought dough with homemade dough if preferred for a fresher taste.
Warm the cream cheese slightly if it is too firm to blend smoothly with the powdered sugar and vanilla.
For additional texture, consider adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before drizzling the melted chocolate.
This dessert pizza is best eaten the day it is made but can be refrigerated and gently warmed before serving the next day.
