Summer Berry Grilled Dessert Pizza – sugar free grilled dessert

Looking for a healthier dessert to share with your family this summer? This grilled berry dessert pizza is high on flavor and low on junk, plus it uses your grill rather than your oven!

When my husband and I first started dating, I was shocked to find out that he hated using the air conditioner in the summer. While we don’t live anywhere dreadfully hot, NJ still gets pretty warm in July and August and let’s just say a second floor apartment doesn’t stay cool easily.

After some time I got used to it, and now that we’re in a home with lots of windows it’s nice to open the windows and rely on the air outside to cool the house down and breathe in fresh air – especially after a long long winter.  (I should note, we totally still have an AC though!)

That being said, in the summer we rely on the grill – a lot. Nothing is worse than heating up your kitchen trying to make dinner and then regretting it long into the night when it maintains the heat. We grill everything from breakfast through dinner, and I’m excited to share a simple dessert that will help you enjoy sweets in summer without having to rely soley on no-bake treats or heating your house up. Winning, right?

This grilled dessert pizza is everything you need in the summer – pizza, packed with fresh fruit, and won’t heat up your house. Add the fact that it’s relatively healthy and uses no refined sugar? Yes, please.

The best part about this dessert on the grill is that it’s super customizable – just change out the toppings and you’re good to go! Here are some suggestions –

Toppings for grilled dessert pizza

  • Fresh, in season fruit
  • Melted chocolate
  • Drizzled nut butter
  • Ice cream
  • Melted nutella
  • Fresh herbs like mint
  • Citrus zest
  • Chopped candy bars

While all of these suggestions might not be the most health conscious, this summer berry grilled dessert pizza is pretty harmless – all of our favorite berries cut up and placed beautifully on a grilled pizza crust over a protein packed, refined sugar free yogurt and cream cheese “frosting”.

Course Dessert
Cuisine American, Baked Goods, grilled, Kid friendly
Keyword dessert pizza, grilled dessert, pizza
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 7 minutes
Total Time 17 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • Premade pizza dough
  • Fresh berries
  • 1 TBS honey more to taste
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 7 oz container of plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • Dark chocolate bar

Instructions

  1. Roll out your pizza dough. Oil one side and then place on a preheated grill on high.

  2. Leave open and grill one side 2-3 minutes, constantly checking so it doesn't burn. Brush with oil before flipping and grilling another 1 or 2 minutes. Remove from grill and set aside to cool.

  3. Cream together cream cheese, yogurt, honey and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Spread dough with cream cheese frosting, top with berries and shaved dark chocolate. 

Recipe Notes

-Use as much honey as needed. You can also substitute with maple syrup or remove the sweetener and vanilla and use vanilla Greek yogurt. 

 

-I used half of a one pound package of dough.

 

-To make curled chocolate, use a vegetable peeler on the side of a bar of chocolate. 

So tell me – using the grill for all of the things, yay or nay? Blogging friends – do you use recipe testers for recipes you can’t have? Is anyone against my posting food I personally can’t eat..? Let me know in the comments!

    This looks delicious! Ive had a dessert pizza one time but it was like loaded and heavy with chocolate and all sorts of insanity. This looks a lot lighter! I could totally make a dairy free gf version of this. I think you should post whatever recipes you want! I like to get my husband to taste test and sometimes friends or family if theyre over!

    This looks amazing! Dessert pizza is so fun! My favorite birthday dessert as a kid was a brownie-crusted fruit pizza because I was a chocoholic even then 😀

    I don’t think I’ve ever had a dessert made on a grill – but I love the idea of avoiding having the oven on in the summer!

    I’ve never grilled pizza but I feel like that needs to change ASAP as this looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! Especially if you added grilled bananas to the mix!

    Wow. This looks beautiful and relatively healthy. I’m trying to figure out what I might substitute to make it vegan. Any ideas?

      Hey Caryn! I would refrigerate a can of full fat coconut milk and whip up the solids that separate out with some vanilla and sweetener of choice! I think that would be a perfect alternative without using anything artificial. (Though, coconut milk or almond milk yogurt and vegan cream cheese would probably also work!)

    You had me at pizza, but of course the fruit and grilling not cooking, is all pretty amazing credits to this recipe.

    Love it! I think it might be time for a good old fruit pizza family night. I am definitely looking forward to it 🙂

    I would much rather have a cookie crust for a fruited pizza then something off the grill. Looks good though.
