Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Assorted fresh fruits for topping
- 1/2 cup coconut yogurt for spread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and use your hands or a spatula to press it evenly into a circular shape, approximately 10 inches in diameter. Aim for an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature.
- Once the crust has cooled, spread the coconut yogurt evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Wash and prepare your assorted fresh fruits. Slice fruits like strawberries, kiwis, blueberries, and mandarin oranges into thin, decorative pieces.
- Artfully arrange the sliced fruits on top of the coconut yogurt spread, creating a colorful and visually appealing design.
- Chill the fruit pizza in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the yogurt to set.
- Slice into 8 equal wedges and serve chilled. Best enjoyed on the same day for optimal freshness.
Tips
- Crust Consistency: Make sure to press the dough evenly to ensure uniform baking. An even thickness helps create a perfect crisp base.
- Fruit Selection: Choose a variety of colorful fruits for maximum visual appeal and flavor complexity. Mix different textures and colors like strawberries, kiwis, blueberries, and mandarin oranges.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the crust to cool completely before adding the coconut yogurt spread. This prevents soggy edges and ensures a crisp base.
- Yogurt Spread Tip: Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a smooth, even layer of coconut yogurt.
- Chilling Time: The 15-20 minute refrigeration isn't just for looks - it helps the flavors meld and creates a more cohesive dessert experience.
- Serve Fresh: This fruit pizza is best enjoyed on the same day to maintain the perfect texture and freshness of the crust and fruits.
- Make It Your Own: Feel free to experiment with different fruit combinations or add a light drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
