Mudhoney dessert pizza

This is heaven in the form of a dessert pizza! There is a pizza takeaway/restaurant place in the hills of Perth known as Little Caesar's; they are actually considerably renowned now, as they have won many a competition world-wide for the delectable pizzas they continue to make. They have also opened up another restaurant in Leederville, Western Australia. My family have always been huge fans of Little Caesar's, so naturally we purchased the book, Theo Kalogeracos, published in 2008. The book contains the recipes for all the fantastic pizzas they make at Little Caesar's, including the recipe for the Mudhoney dessert pizza, which is (to say the least) incredible. To find out more about the book, follow this link.

WHAT YOU NEED:
Pizza dough:
- 3 cups of plain flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
- 3 teaspoons of yeast
- 2/3 cup of water (or as much as you feel necessary; the dough shouldn't be sticky at all)
Chocolate sauce:
- 1/4 cup of chocolate melts
- 100 mL of whipping cream
Cake base:
- 2/3 cup of caster sugar
- 2/3 cup of self-raising flour
- 1/2 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa
- 1/2 cup of butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup of chocolate melts
Pizza topping:
- Chocolate melts (white, milk, dark, you decide - put as much or as little on as you wish to)
- 1 tablespoon chocolate sauce
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- Icing sugar for dusting
- Vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream (optional - the dessert is still incredibly rich without either of these, as you may have guessed)

HOW TO DO IT:
Pizza dough:
1. Combine all ingredients, and knead until combined and not too dry, not too sticky.
2. Place in a bowl and cover with cling wrap or a tea towel, to prevent air from entering. Leave to sit for half an hour or so, while you make the other components of the pizza.
Chocolate sauce:
1. Boil a pot of water on the stove. Turn the heat down to a simmer when the water begins to boil and place a heat-proof bowl filled with chocolate pieces over the water, so they begin to melt.
2. As the chocolate melts, add the cream slowly, and ensure that the chocolate and cream combine well and the consistency becomes thicker.
3. Refrigerate the sauce.
Cake base:
1. Preheat oven to 250°C/482°F.
2. Sift caster sugar, self-raising flour, baking powder and cocoa into a bowl. Soften the butter to a point where you are able to rub it into the dry mixture, then do so until it is crumbly.
3. Break the eggs into a separate bowl, and give them a quick whisk to combine the whites and the yolks until they are light and fluffy. Break up some chocolate melts and add them to the egg mix.
4. Make a well in the centre of the dry mix and add the wet ingredients in. This makes a cake mix that is not like the usual sort; it will be stiff, but spreadable.
5. Split the dough into two balls and roll each one out into a circle. Put them on pizza trays and spread the cake mixture over the top, leaving a small space for a crust on the edge of each pizza.
6. Bake for approximately 8 minutes, or until the pizza puffs up slightly.
Pizza topping:
1. Remove the pizza from the oven when cooked, and cover in the toppings listed above. Put the chocolate on first, then follow with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and honey, and then the icing sugar.

This should taste fantastic... I hope! Everyone should be entitled to this little piece of lovely. x

* please note; this is not the exact recipe for Little Caesar's original Mudhoney pizza, but my pizza was extremely similar to the recipe from the book.
