Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
Base Enhancers:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Toppings:
- 1 1/2 cups Hershey’s milk chocolate chips
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 bars (1.55 ounces each) Hershey chocolate bars, broken into chunks
- 1 graham cracker sheet, broken into chunks
Instructions
- Prepare the pizza pan by coating thoroughly with cooking spray, ensuring complete surface coverage.
- Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, whisking graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, and salt until uniformly blended.
- Using an electric mixer, cream butter with brown and granulated sugars at medium-high speed for approximately 3 minutes until texture becomes light and fluffy.
- Incorporate eggs individually into butter mixture, then blend in vanilla extract until smooth and well integrated.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, mixing on low speed until ingredients are just combined with no visible flour streaks.
- Using moistened hands, evenly spread dough across pizza pan, maintaining a slight border around edges. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 60 minutes to enhance flavor development.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake cookie crust for 22-25 minutes until edges turn golden brown and center appears set.
- Immediately distribute chocolate chips over hot crust, returning to oven for 1 minute to facilitate melting. Spread chocolate evenly, leaving a small margin around edges.
- Generously scatter mini marshmallows across melted chocolate layer. Activate broiler on low setting and monitor closely, toasting marshmallows until achieving uniform golden-brown coloration.
- Garnish pizza with fragmented Hershey bar pieces and crumbled graham cracker chunks for final textural and flavor enhancement.
Notes
- Chill Dough Thoroughly refrigerating the dough helps prevent spreading and ensures a perfectly shaped pizza crust with crisp edges.
- Temperature Control Carefully monitor marshmallows under broiler, as they can quickly burn and turn bitter instead of golden brown.
- Chocolate Melting Trick Letting hot crust melt chocolate chips creates a smooth, even layer that spreads easily without additional heating.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation Swap wheat flour with almond or gluten-free blend to make this dessert pizza accessible for those with dietary restrictions.
