OOHHH MAMA ITS PIZZA TIME

The Second Week of February is for Pizza. While there are a great variety of pizzas that you can buy, make and eat the one I choose today is on the sweet side and can be shared as a dessert pizza

Dessert pizza: coconut, chocolate, nuts, pineapple. The cheeses are cream cheese and mascarpone.
