My old baking teacher always told me, "The simplest things need the most careful hands." After making this hundreds of times, I totally get what she meant.

Level Up Your Dessert

This tastes amazing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, some fresh berries on top, or a drizzle of cream cheese icing. In the morning, grab a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk to go with it.

Mix It Up

Try adding thin apple slices, sprinkle on some chopped walnuts, or scatter chocolate chips before baking. For something fancier, whip up a cream cheese topping to drizzle over everything.

Keeping It Fresh

Keep leftovers in a sealed container on your counter for a couple days. Want that just-baked crispiness back? Pop it in the oven for a few minutes. After making this dessert pizza for years now, I've learned that keeping it simple is actually what makes it so good. When you take your time with each step, you end up with something that makes everyone happy.

Recipe Questions & Answers

→ Can I make this in advance?

Tastes best warm and fresh, but you can store it for a couple of days. Toast it to refresh the crunch!

→ Why isn't my crust crunchy?

Go easy on the butter and wait to ice until it cools. These tips help keep the texture crisp.

→ Can I store it in the freezer?

Wouldn't recommend it. The crescent rolls can go mushy once thawed.

→ What are some fun add-ons?

Toss in nuts, chocolate chips, or raisins before baking for a fun twist.

→ What if I don’t have crescent rolls?

No worries! Puff pastry or pizza dough makes a great substitute. Adjust the baking time as mentioned on its package.
