Huckleberry Pizza

By Hklbrries

Simonik, who makes pizza from scratch for his family, modeled this huckleberry dessert version after the Moravian pastries his grandmother made with other fruits.

Ingredients

• Crust:
• 1 package active dry yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/4 cup lukewarm water
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp lemon Jello powder
• 2 sticks (1 cup) margarine, softened
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• Topping:
• 2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups huckleberries
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• Glaze:
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp milk

Preparation

Step 1

Mix together sugar and yeast, dissolve in lukewarm water and let stand until bubbly.

Sift flour, salt, sugar and Jello powder into a large mixing bowl. Cut in margarine until crumbly. Add yeast mixture, milk and eggs. Mix to make a soft dough. Place in a greased bowl, turn greased side up, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Punch down dough, knead on a lightly floured surface and roll out to fit a round pizza pan. Grease pizza pan and stretch dough over it, forming an edge.

With an electric mixer, mix cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and egg. Spread evenly over crust. Combine huckleberries with brown sugar and sprinkle over cream cheese mixture. Dust with ground cinnamon. Bake at 375 F about 20 to 25 minutes, until crust is golden brown.

Mix powdere sugar, vanilla and milk. Drizzle over pizza while still warm.
