My Saturday night indulgence was the bomb! I’m calling this gluten free dessert “Cinnabomb Pizza”!

We LOVE Against the Grain Gluten Free Pizza Crust and my husband has been begging for a dessert using this crust, so I finally did!

This is like a Cinnamon Roll with a nutty background flavor. This is a cheese based crust but you don’t even taste it! This crust bakes to a perfect crunchy & flakey crisp. I’m not a fan of floppy pizzas.

So, here’s what you need:

  • 1 Against the Grain Crust

The Spread:

  • 1c unsalted Kerrygold Irish Butter,  softened
  • 1c Coconut Palm Sugar
  • 1/2c Gluten Free Rolled Oats
  • 6 tbsp Cinnamon

The Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • 4tbsp unsalted Kerrygold Irish Butter, softened
  • 2oz Organic Valley Cream Cheese,  softened
  • 3/4c Powdered Sugar Substitute (3/4c of Xylitol OR Erythritol & 1tbsp of Arrowroot Powder, I used my Breville blender until powdery)
  • 1/2tsp of Vanilla Extract

Pre-heat oven to 375.

In a small bowl combine the dry ingredients of the spread then add the softened butter and mix thoroughly to make crumbles.

On a frozen crust, spread the mixture evenly. Keep the outer inch of the crust exposed. This allows room for the bubbly gooeyness to spread.

Bake for about 8 to 10min or until lightly brown.

Now make the glaze! Combine Xylitol and Arrowroot powder together.  In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, cream cheese and vanilla extract. I used a handheld mixture to beat on high. Slowly add the powdered sugar into the mixture and continue to beat until it becomes a thick glaze. Drizzle over pizza and enjoy by itself or add a scoop of Halo Top Vanilla Ice Cream!

I cut it to yield 12 small slices so that I can have a yummy little taste.

It’s a hot cocoa kinda night! I fell in love when I first created this lightly sweetened cup of chocolate heaven.

This recipe calls for organic ingredients and is dairy free.  It’s honey sweetened but can be substituted for 1 to drops of liquid glycerin Stevia.

Yields 2 cups

  • 2 cups of Almond Milk, vanilla, unsweetened
  • 2tbsp of Organic Cocoa Powder
  • 1tbsp of Raw Unfiltered Honey (or substitute w/1 to 2 drops of liquid Stevia)
  • 1tsp of Organic Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4tsp of Organic Cinnamon
  • 1/4tsp of Pink Himalayan Salt
  • 2 Star Anise
  • 2 Cinnamon Sticks

Place milk & Star Anise into a pot and warm milk over medium heat for about 5 to 7min.

Meanwhile, combine cocoa powder, cinnamon, salt, honey and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix to a thick paste.

When milk is warm and a little bubbly, add the cocoa mixture to the pot and stir until thoroughly mixed.

Turn off the heat and serve with one star anise & one cinnamon stick in each cup.

Enjoy!
