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. It’s how we came up with this simple dessert that will help you enjoy sweets in summer. No need to rely
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 light 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

Grilled Summer Berry Dessert Pizza
Looking for a 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!
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
-
Roll out your pizza dough. Oil one side and then place on a preheated grill on high.
-
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.
-
Cream together cream cheese, yogurt, honey and vanilla until smooth.
-
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.

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!
Julie @ Running in a Skirt says
What a great little recipe! Looks so tasty! Love the little chocolate curls you put on it.
Ellen @ My Uncommon Everyday says
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 😀
alexandra @ my urban family says
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!
Amanda says
O.M.G. YUM!!! Thanks for linking up to the Creative K Kids’ Tasty Tuesday – I can’t wait to see what you create next week!
Kristy from Southern In Law says
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!
Caryn says
Wow. This looks beautiful and relatively healthy. I’m trying to figure out what I might substitute to make it vegan. Any ideas?
Morgan says
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!)
Jen says
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 🙂
Michelle says
I would much rather have a cookie crust for a fruited pizza then something off the grill. Looks good though.
