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”.

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.
