Grilled Peach Dessert Pizza

I love when peaches are in season. They are so versatile! You can throw them into a sweet or savory dish and they shine equally as well. This Grilled Peach Dessert Pizza obviously falls into the sweet category, but it really isn’t overpoweringly sweet. Its refined sugar free as this just uses honey to sweeten the ricotta cheese base and then is topped with a cinnamon honey drizzle.

I used my favorite pizza dough, but slightly altered it. Instead of the Italian seasoning and mozzarella, I added just a pinch of cinnamon to make the dough a little more like dessert. This whole dessert is cooked on the grill! No need to heat up the house with your oven in these hot summer months!

Ingredients for Grilled Peach Dessert Pizza:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon plus 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, divided
• 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 8 ounces Ricotta cheese
• 2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup Honey, divided

• Fresh Basil, for garnish

To make the pizza dough:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon.
2. Add the 1 cup Greek yogurt and combine until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until a soft dough forms. Add flour as needed, it should not stick to your hands.
4. Shape dough into ball and divide into
5. Roll each ball out into a 6-8 inch circle.

For the Ricotta:

Directions to assemble the Grilled Peach Dessert Pizza:
