St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Pizza

This St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Pizza is a fun twist on a Chicago inspired deep dish dessert pizza that uses Bailey’s Irish Cream and a chocolate mousse filling.

Chicago is my kind of town, and no one does St. Patrick’s Day better than we do.  We really get into the spirit of the holiday by dying our incredible river green.  Seriously it is a sight to behold.   Because Chicago gives their all to St. Patty’s Day, I thought a recipe sharing the spirit of Chicago coupled with the deliciousness of BAILEYS® Coffee Creamers Original Irish Cream would create one of the world’s best Irish desserts.  I can’t tell you how excited I was to develop this deep dish dessert pizza recipe for the BAILEYS® Coffee Creamers’ Search for America’s Favorite St. Patrick’s Day!  Can you think of anything more “Chicago” than pizza? I seriously couldn’t.

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• Start with a base that’s easy-peasy: refrigerated sugar cookie dough – this is your canvas, let’s make it sweet!

For the Chocolate Cream:

• Whip up richness with egg yolks – they’re the golden heart of our cream.
• Sweeten the deal with granulated sugar – it’s the sweet whisper in every bite.
• Add the thickener, cornstarch – it’s the secret to that lush, spoon-coating texture.
• A pinch of salt to balance the flavors – it’s like a pinch of luck!
• Go dark and dreamy with unsweetened cocoa powder – because chocolate is always the right choice.
• Pour in the luxury with heavy whipping cream – it’s the velvet robe of our dessert pizza.
• Bring on the Irish with BAILEY’S Irish Cream or keep it mellow with Coffee Creamer – let’s get spirited!
• Mix in a touch of milk – because every cream needs a little smooth.
• A dollop of butter for that silky finish – because butter makes everything better.
• Cap it off with pure vanilla extract – it’s the fragrant whisper in this symphony of sweetness.

For the Whipped Topping:

• Get fluffy with cold heavy whipping cream – it’s the cloud on top of our dessert dream.
• Sweeten that fluff with powdered sugar – it’s the snowfall atop our indulgent mountain.

How to Make St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Pizza

For the Crust:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Liberally spray a 9″ inch springform pan with non-stick baking spray. Using your fingers and a little flour, gently press the cookie dough on the bottom of the pan.
• Bake for 14-16 minutes then remove from the oven. Using a small spoon, press the cookie dough half way up the sides of the springform pan to create deep dish crust then let it set.

For the Chocolate Cream:

• Mix together egg yolks and granulated sugar on medium high speed in the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer). Next add in cornstarch, salt, and cocoa powder and lower speed.
• Lastly, add in heavy whipping cream, BAILEY’S Irish Cream or Creamer and milk and mix together scraping down the sides and bottom to thoroughly blend mixture.
• Transfer from mixing bowl to large pot over medium heat until mixture begins to boil whisking the entire time.
• Once filling has thickened significantly, turn off heat and swirl in butter and vanilla and whisk together until glossy and smooth. Let cream chill until it is barely warm.
• After the filling has cooled a bit, add it to the cookie crust and smooth out until even.
• Place the pizza in the freezer for 1 hour or refrigerate for 3 hours.

For the Whipped Topping:

• Add heavy whipping cream to the bowl of your mixer and beat on high speed.
• Once peaks slowly begin to develop, add in powdered sugar and beat until heavy peaks have formed.
• Evenly spread the whipped cream over the top of the chocolate cream then decorate with whatever toppings you prefer. Keep dessert pizza refrigerated until ready to serve. (Gently remove the pizza from the sides of the springform pan before serving).

How to Store

For the St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Pizza, it’s best to store it in the refrigerator. Keep it covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container to maintain its freshness. It will stay delightful and ready to enjoy for up to 3 days.
