MD Sweet Potato Pizza Pie Bellissimo
Sweet Potato Pizza Pie Bellissimo
Ingredients:
3 cups peeled and diced sweet potatoes
1 (12-inch) purchased pizza crust
12 ounces mascarpone cheese or cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
1/2 teaspoon finely snipped fresh rosemary
1/3 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
1 cup chopped pecans
Garnish: additional rosemary
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450°. (Heating the oven to 450°, then reducing the temperature when pizza is placed in oven will help to crisp the crust.)
In a nonstick skillet, cook sweet potatoes until fork tender. Let cool.
Place pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spread cream cheese over crust. Scatter sweet potatoes evenly over cheese.
To make topping, combine flour, brown sugar, salt, and rosemary in a medium bowl, whisking together.
Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until crumbs form. Add pecans, mixing well. Sprinkle topping evenly over sweet potatoes.
Reduce oven to 425°. Bake pizza for 10 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional rosemary, if desired.
