This Sweet Nutella Banana Grilled Pizza is a delightful dessert that transforms the classic pizza concept into a sweet treat that will satisfy any sweet tooth. The combination of creamy Nutella spread topped with sliced bananas creates a rich and indulgent dessert perfect for summer evenings or a fun family dessert night.

Grilling the pizza gives it a crispy crust while keeping the inside warm and gooey, making it an unforgettable experience. The beauty of this dessert pizza lies in its simplicity and adaptability. You can easily customize it by adding your favorite toppings such as mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra flavor kick.

This recipe not only showcases the versatility of pizza but also invites creativity in the kitchen, making it a fun project for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients:

1 pound store-bought pizza dough
1/2 cup Nutella
1 banana, sliced
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Chocolate syrup (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions:

Preheat the grill to medium heat. If you have a pizza stone, place it on the grill to heat up as well. If not, prepare a baking sheet to use as your grilling surface.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, usually about ¼ inch thick. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel if using a stone, or directly onto the baking sheet.
Brush the melted butter over the surface of the dough for added flavor and a golden finish. If desired, sprinkle the sugar over the buttered dough for a touch of sweetness.
Spread the Nutella evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Arrange the sliced bananas on top of the Nutella, distributing them evenly for a delicious bite in every slice.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated grill or pizza stone. Close the lid and grill for about 3-5 minutes, watching closely until the crust is golden brown and the edges are crispy.
Once done, remove the pizza from the grill using a spatula. Allow it to cool for a minute before dusting with powdered sugar and drizzling with chocolate syrup, if desired. Slice and serve warm.

Extra Tips:

For an extra indulgent experience, consider adding toppings like mini marshmallows or crushed graham crackers before grilling for a s’mores twist. If you’re feeling adventurous, experiment with different types of fruit, such as strawberries or raspberries, to create a variety of flavors.

This dessert pizza is best enjoyed fresh off the grill, so gather your friends and family for a fun and interactive dessert experience!
