Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Strawberry Margarita Dessert Pizza.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure your cookie crust bakes to a perfect golden brown. While the oven heats up, take your sugar cookie dough and press it onto a 12-inch pizza pan, spreading it evenly to the edges. Bake the cookie crust in the preheated oven for about 10 to 14 minutes, or until it turns golden brown. Once baked, let it cool at room temperature until it's cool enough to handle. Carefully slide a spatula under the crust and transfer it to a large, flat serving platter.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk and the instant white chocolate pudding mix until smooth. Set this aside and let it thicken as it sets. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the remaining 1/2 cup of milk until creamy and smooth. Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture, stirring until well combined. Spread this luscious mixture evenly over your cooled cookie crust, creating a delightful base for your toppings.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the strawberry topping! In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the margarita mix, white sugar, and cornstarch. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture thickens into a syrup. Once thickened, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Stir in the thawed strawberries, ensuring they are well coated in the syrup. Pour this vibrant strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer on your pizza, spreading it out evenly for a beautiful presentation.
Step 4
To finish off your dessert pizza, dollop the thawed whipped topping over the strawberry layer. You can create fun swirls or simply spread it out for a creamy finish. This dessert pizza is not only visually stunning but also a deliciously sweet treat that’s sure to impress your guests!
