Gluten Free Dessert Pizza

After a long time, I cooked for a challenge where there was secret ingredient swap between a pair. Priya made this beautiful group pf like minded individuals and called it  Shhhh Cooking Secretly Challenge.

I am paired with Anitha for this month. She gave me Oats and Mangoes to cook with. To be frank I had never cooked with oats and I hate their taste anyway. What better way than to make it work in a dessert and even better, a dessert pizza. 🙂

You shall need:

For the base-

2.5 cup… classic rolled oats

3/4 cup… Castor Sugar

2 tbsp… Olive oil/melted butter

1 tsp… dry active yeast dissolved in 4 tbsp warm water with a pinch of sugar

1 tsp.. Salt

1/4 cup…. warm milk

For the topping-

100 gms… cream cheese

50 gms… butter

1 cup… icing sugar

1… mango (peeled and cut in slices)

1 tbsp… butter

A pinch of freshly ground nutmeg

Method:

For the base-

• In a processor/mixer, add the 2 and a 1/4 cup oats with the sugar and whiz until it has a powder consistency.
• Tip it in a bowl.
• Add the yeast, oil/butter, salt and mix well.
• Add the milk, a tbsp at a time and mix it well.
• The dough shall not be very cohesive like that with the all purpose flour.
• Butter a baking tray properly and spread the base mix evenly.
• Bake in a pre heated 180C oven for 15 min or until baked and nice golden brown
• Keep aside to cool

For the Topping-

• In a non stick pan, heat butter.
• Add the mangoes and a tbsp of sugar.
• Let them caramelize well.
• Now add the nutmeg and let it cool down to room temperature.
• In a medium bowl, add the cheese, butter and cream well.
• Add the icing sugar and mix until well incorporated.

To Assemble-

• Once the base is cooled perfectly, put a thin layer of the cream cheese mix on top
• Now add the mango strips as you please.

To note-

• I didn’t take the base out of the tray. It was served from the tray itself.

Serve with love.

Cheers,
