CHOCOLATE FRUIT PIZZA
450 g chocolate pastry
2 tbsp chocolate spread
1 tin peaches sliced
150 g strawberries, halved or quartered
75 g raspberries
75 g blueberries
75 g plain dark chocolate coarsely chopped
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp butter, melted
75 g white chocolate, chopped
1 tbsp hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
Sprigs of fresh mint, to decorate
1
preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6, 15 minutes before baking; lightly oil a large baking sheet
2
roll the prepared pastry out to a 23cm round and place the pastry round on to the baking sheet and crimp the edges; prick all over with a fork and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes
3
line the pastry with foil and weigh down with an ovenproof flat dinner plate or base of a large flan tin and bake blind in the preheated oven until the edges begin to colour; remove from the oven and discard the weight and tinfoil
4
carefully spread the chocolate spread over the pizza base and arrange the peach slices around the outside edge in overlapping circles; toss the berries with the plain chocolate and arrange in the centre; drizzle with the melted butter and sprinkle with the sugar
5
bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the fruit begins to soften; transfer the pizza to a wire rack
6
sprinkle the white chocolate and hazelnuts over the surface and return to the oven for 1 minute or until the chocolate begins to soften; if the pastry starts to darken too much, cover the edge with strips of foil; remove to a wire rack and leave to cool; decorate with the mint sprigs and serve warm
