Ingredients:
For the Pizza Base:

Instructions:
Prepare the Pizza Base:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza stone.
Bake the Pizza Base:
- Bake the dough in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until it's lightly golden and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Chocolate Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it's just about to boil.
- Remove the cream from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Let it sit for a minute to melt the chocolate.
- Stir until smooth and glossy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Assemble the Chocolate Pizza:
- Spread the chocolate sauce evenly over the baked pizza base.
- Add your desired toppings, such as mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, sliced strawberries or bananas, shredded coconut, and sprinkles.
Melt the Toppings:
- If using marshmallows or other toppings that need to be melted, place the assembled pizza back in the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and puffed.
Serve:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice the chocolate pizza into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
