Nutella is one of the greatest things in the world. The gooey, chocolate-y hazelnut spread can literally be applied to almost anything and has the uncanny ability of making a bad dessert into an amazing one. But what about pizza? Dessert pizzas are incredibly popular, though they tend to use some bargain basement ingredients, such as basic fudge sauce found in a bottle at your grocery store as a base, and generic marshmallow fluff as a topping. While the fluff and generic chocolate sauce are definitely tasty, they’re not suitable for a real dessert pizza, which should spare no expense.

Making a Nutella pizza is incredibly simple due to its versatility. You only include toppings if you want to (and you should), and it works with all types of doughs, provided they’re not loaded with cheese or other strong flavorings. As such, making your own pizza crust is ideal, though a pre-made kind can work just as well.
To make this tasty dessert pizza, the first thing you need to do is bake the crust so it’s nice and crispy. This will obviously take less time if you buy a pre-made crust, so if you’re pressed for time, this is your best option.
Next, once the crust is sufficiently cooked, take it out of the over and immediately spread Nutella liberally over the top of the pizza crust. Make sure the Nutella gets all the way to the crust, leaving a little bit to ensure it’s easy to pick up and devour.
Once the nutella has been applied, take two bananas and cut them up into small slices. Evenly distribute them over the top of the pizza in a circular motion. Next, take some marshmallow fluff and use it to fill in the spaces between the banana slices. After this, take a handful of vanilla chips and sprinkle them over the top of the pizza.
Serve warm or, for a cooler treat, pop in the fridge or freezer for a short while.
