Ingredients
Cookie Crust
- 1 roll (16 oz) sugar cookie dough
Marshmallow Cream Filling
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter softened
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decorative Toppings
- pink decorating icing
- Peeps
- Easter pastel m&m's
Instructions
- PREP : Place the sugar cookie dough out at room temperature for 15 minutes before starting the recipe. It needs to soften slightly so it's easier to spread.
- Heat the oven to 325° F. Spray a 12" round pizza pan with cooking spray.
- Unwrap the sugar cookie dough and use a sharp knife to cut it into ¼-inch slices. Place the slices of cookie dough on the pizza pan. Using your fingers, press and smoosh the cookie dough slices together to form a crust. If it's too sticky, use a piece of wax paper or parchment paper to press the dough into the pizza pan.1 roll (16 oz) sugar cookie dough
- Bake the cookie crust for 15-18 minutes.Once done, remove it from the oven and place it on a cooling rack to cool for about 30 minute before frosting and decorating it.
- In a mixing bowl with a handheld mixer, or you can use a stand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until combined and smooth. Add in the marshmallow cream and beat until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 7 ounces marshmallow creme
- Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until combined and it forms a thick/soft frosting.1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Notes
Marshmallow Creme : This is also called marshmallow fluff by many, but it is labeled as 'marshmallow creme' on the jar of it at the store. You will find it in the baking aisle by the bagged marshmallows.
Pizza Pan : I suggest using a round pizza pan that has raised slight sides on it. If it's completely flat it might spill over while baking. I have linked the one that I use in the recipe card above here.
Leftovers : Store any leftovers in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap or inside a Tupperware-type container, for up to 3 days. I actually prefer eating this pizza cold straight from the fridge. As the pizza sits out at room temperature it will soften slightly.
Variation & Substitution Ideas -
-
- Cookie Dough Crust : Although I recommend using sugar cookie dough (I've never used any other than that) you can use any cookie dough you prefer. Make sure it's the refrigerated kind that comes in the log shape.
- Peeps : Use any variety or flavor of peeps that you want! Peeps chicks or bunnies work. Although the bunnies are preferred because they lay flat. You can also use any flavor variety of mix of colors that you want. I like to use the blue and pink Peeps because they look good with the pastel m&m candies.
- Color Coordinate : Use any icing, any Easter candy, and/or any Easter Peeps you want to design a color scheme.
- Candy : Use Easter sprinkles, jelly beans, or any other small shaped candy.
