This beautiful, ruby-hued dessert pizza is made with a gluten-free beet crust that is topped with whipped coconut cream, chocolate chunks, peanut butter chips, and drizzled with melted chocolate and melted peanut butter.

Ingredients

For the Beet Crust:

  • 2 medium to small beets
  • 3/4 cup almond meal
  • 1/3 cup gluten-free flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Toppings:

  • 1 1/2 cups Chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups Peanut butter chips
  • 1/4 cup coconut whipped topping or any whipped topping you prefer

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Wash the beets, and cut off any roots and stems. Then, wrap the beets in aluminum foil and bake them for 45 minutes, or until tender.
  • When beets are baked through, remove them from the oven and let them cool until they are okay to handle by hand.
  • Then, unwrap the foil off the beets. Peel off any beet skin with a peeler. Then, place the beets in a high-powered blender. Blend on high until beets are puréed. This should result in about 1 and 1/4 cups of puréed beets.
  • Then place the puréed beets in a large bowl. To the bowl, add the almond meal, gluten-free flour, salt, baking powder, olive oil, egg, vanilla, and sugar, and mix well with a spatula. The dough will be wet.
  • Using the spatula, smooth out beet crust to about 1/3 inch thick onto a parchment-lined baking tray.
  • Turn the oven to 375 degrees F and bake for 25 mins.
  • Remove the beautiful beet crust from the oven and turn the oven off.
  • Let it cool
  • Then, top that gorgeous beet crust with coconut cream or whipped cream, some of the chocolate chips (about 1/2 cup approx), and some of the peanut butter chips (about 1/2 cup approx).
  • Melt the remaining cup of chocolate chips by placing the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving on high for 30 seconds. If not melted, repeat another 30 seconds, stirring between. Then drizzle the melted chocolate over the pizza.
  • Repeat this with the peanut butter chips and drizzle the melted peanut butter chips over the pizza.
  • Then slice and enjoy!
