A simple addition to a brunch, that works with whatever berries you’re in the mood for!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 prepared pizza dough (your own recipe, or from the supermarket)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 cups marscapone cheese (in my supermarket this was in the hummus section??)
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream (good thing I needed cream for several recipes that weekend or this would be annoying…)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 cups mixed berries (if using strawberries, roughly chop – other berries are already small enough)

In a small dish, mix together the sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silpat.

Roll out pizza dough to about 1/4″ thick. Place on lined baking sheet and brush with the melted better. Sprinkle with half the cinnamon sugar, then bake until golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

This is a really terrible picture, but I was able to slight a wire rack right in there, under the crust.

In a medium bowl, stir together the mascapone, cream, lemon juice, and zest. Spread cheese mixture on the cooled crust, then top with the berries. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the top, then slice and serve.

Brunchiest!
