Filling for a Dessert Pizza Roll

Dessert pizza rolls have a sweet surprise wrapped in a chewy crust. The roll can have anything inside, as long as it’s rolled in pizza dough. The treats are made by spreading filling down the middle of a dough piece. You wrap the dough around the stuffing and then bake the pizza roll until golden. From fruits to spices, the fillings you can use for a dessert pizza roll are only limited by your imagination.

Tasty Fruits

  • Fresh or dried, there are many ways to use fruit in a dessert pizza roll. Add diced apples to the roll for a subtle sweetness or try dried pineapple pieces for a potent sweet. Go for a berry pie flavor by spooning strawberry or blueberry pie filling onto the dough. Drop papaya and mango pieces into each roll for a tropical twist. Spoon dried cranberries onto each dough piece for a tangy sweetness. Spread cherry jam over each piece for a simple dessert.

Fabulous Nuts

  • Nuts add a pleasant crunch to dessert pizza rolls, as well as an earthy background flavor. Sprinkle finely chopped cinnamon-sugar pecans into each roll for a classic flavor. Give the dessert island style by adding shredded coconut and chopped macadamia nuts to the roll. Try a sophisticated flavor with finely chopped almonds and candied lemon rind. Add chopped walnuts for a mellow taste. Go for a sticky sweet by using a mixture of honey and peanut butter on the dough.

Yummy Spices

  • The right combination of spices, sugar and butter are all you need to turn plain pizza rolls into a delightful dessert. Mix cinnamon, granulated sugar and butter, and then spread the mixture onto the dough, for a cinnamon roll flavor. Combine butter with powdered sugar, cloves, cinnamon and allspice for a spicy treat. Try a gingerbread-style taste by spreading a mixture of brown sugar, butter and powdered ginger across the dough.

Savory Spreads

  • Many spreads work well as a filling for dessert pizza rolls. Spread strawberry cream cheese over each pizza roll piece for a creamy sweet. Create a delicate treat by using a mixture of mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar and apricot marmalade over the dough. Try chocolate hazelnut spread for an indulgent dessert.

Flavorful Candy Chips

  • Chocolate or not, chopped up candy chips create a decadent filling for pizza rolls. Sprinkle dark chocolate chips over each dough piece for a powerful chocolate taste. Add butterscotch chips for a rich undertone of flavor. Use caramel chips for an extra-sweet touch. Go with a traditional taste by sprinkling cherries and milk chocolate chips on the dough.
