Do you love canolis? I don’t. I know, I know. Strange of me to advocate for this canoli pizza when I don’t like canolis. This pizza is certainly canoli inspired, but is a completely different experience.Satisfying canoli filling in every bite instead of getting squished out all over your lap after the first bite, and toppings in every bite instead of just dipped on the ends.

We start with the crust. Puff Pastry. Using boxed really makes things simple and fast. Roll the pastry out and then cut around the edges to make a circle to fit on the pizza pan. Flour the pizza pan and add the pastry.

Bake the pastry in a preheated oven at 400 for 10-15 minutes. Remove and let cool before topping.

Make sure to poke your pastry with a fork prior to cooking, or it will puff up all over like crazy like this.

While the pastry cooks, add ricotta, cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar to a bowl and mix together until creamy and no lumps are present. Store in fridge until ready to use.

Once the pastry is cooled, GENTLY spread nutella over it. Then, pipe the canoli pizza “filling” over the top in whatever style or design you like. Top with your favorite canoli toppings: mini chocolate chips, chopped fruit, crushed pistachios, sprinkles, etc.

Slice and Enjoy!
