Bananas Foster Dessert Pizza

It’s almost Mardi Gras and that means it’s time for all that delicious New Orleans fare: Jambalaya, Red Beans and Rice, Shrimp Creole, Shrimp Etouffee, Muffaletta Dip, Bananas Foster Cake, and Beignets. Love them all.

This Bananas Foster Dessert Pizza is super easy to make for a party or a special family dessert.

We always have bananas and it is so easy to turn them into a delicious dessert like this Bananas Foster Dessert Pizza.

A pizza of any kind is always a crowd pleaser, but especially when covered in cream cheese and shortbread cookie crumbs with sliced bananas and chopped pecans drenched in caramel sauce and dark rum.

I like to use a premade pizza crust to save time, but you could make your own pizza dough.

Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and you are in for a treat.

    Wow. That looks scrumptious, especially with the bananas and nuts. I’m inclined to hoard it and gorge on it with lots of ice cream on top.
