As I settled into my cozy kitchen with the promise of a delightful baking session ahead, the thought of creating my own version of Burger Hut’s Blueberry Pizza had my taste buds dancing.

Picture this: a sweet, creamy base topped with luscious blueberry filling, all nestled on a crunchy crust. Perfect for any dessert lover, it felt serendipitous that I stumbled upon this recipe.

Before diving into the recipe, let’s talk about some delicious pairings. I can imagine this Blueberry Pizza served alongside a refreshing salad, perhaps a spinach salad with strawberries and feta.

The sweetness of the blueberries would complement the tartness of the feta beautifully.

A scoop of vanilla ice cream could also provide that extra comforting touch. Imagine taking a bite of the warm blueberry pizza, with its creamy texture, then following it with the coolness of the ice cream. Pure magic!

Ingredients for Pizza Hut Blueberry Pizza

1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons honey
1 12-inch pre-baked pizza crust
8 ounces softened cream cheese
½ cup room-temperature butter
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup powdered sugar
21 ounces blueberry pie filling (canned)
1 cup crushed shortbread cookie crumbs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

How to Make Pizza Hut Blueberry Pizza

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Before anything else, let’s fire up the oven to 350°F (175°C). This gives the pizza a perfect baking environment. Usually, I don’t recommend rushing this step. It’s all about even baking.

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and room temperature butter. Use an electric mixer, if you have one, to make things easy. You’ll want it creamy and smooth.

Add in the lemon zest, honey, and powdered sugar. This will result in a fluffy blend that’s going to be heavenly on the pizza crust.

Step 3: Apply the Cream Cheese Mixture

Grab your pre-baked pizza crust. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust using a spatula. It’s okay if it doesn’t look perfect; a rustic finish adds character.

Step 4: Top with Blueberry Filling

Next, take your canned blueberry pie filling and gently spoon that glorious mixture over the cream cheese layer. Spread it out evenly to cover every nook and cranny. Seriously, don’t be shy with the blueberries!

Step 5: Sprinkle Crushed Shortbread Cookies

Now, this is where the magic happens. My favorite part. Delicately sprinkle the crushed shortbread cookie crumbs on top of the blueberry filling. This adds texture and a delightful crunch.

Step 6: Melted Butter and Cinnamon

Melt the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in the microwave. Drizzle this buttery goodness over the entire pizza. Lastly, sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top. This adds a warm aroma as it bakes.

Step 7: Bake

Place your masterpiece in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on it! You want the shortbread crumbs to turn a lovely golden color and the blueberries to bubble just a bit.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

Once baked, allow it to cool for around 10-15 minutes. This is essential; trust me on this! It gives the filling time to set slightly. Slice it, serve it, enjoy it. Don’t forget the ice cream!

Recipe Notes

Cream Cheese: It gives that rich, creamy flavor that pairs seamlessly with the sweetness of blueberries. Make sure it’s softened for easy spreading.
Blueberry Pie Filling: While making fresh filling is an option, I appreciate the convenience of canned filling for this recipe. It’s consistent and saves time.
Shortbread Cookie Crumbs: You can use any cookies you prefer, but shortbread lends a buttery crunch that complements the creamy base well.
Honey: A touch of honey brings out sweetness naturally. You can adjust it according to your preference.

Recipe Variations

This recipe is versatile and can easily be adapted to your preferences. For a twist, try using different fruits, such as strawberries or raspberries. You can also swap the shortbread for graham cracker crumbs, offering a different texture and flavor.

If you’re feeling adventurous, a splash of lemon juice can elevate the blueberry filling appealingly.
