Sweet and Salty Dessert Pizza

Another sweet pizza . . . somebody gave us a bunch of chips, so I came up with this funky flavor. They said it was good (and blog-worthy :-) ), but surely not as good as the Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Dessert Pizza.


Sweet and Salty Dessert Pizza (Gluten-free, Dairy-free)
Hanunyah Creation


Crust:
1/2 cup lard
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon guar gum
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 cups rice flour
1/2 cup crushed chips (I used corn chips)

Topping:
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup milk*
2 tablespoons lard
1/4 cup crushed chips (I used corn chips)
1 teaspoon lemon extract

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Combine all of the crust ingredients. Spread in a greased round baking pan (I use a 11 inch stoneware baking pan). You may need to add a teaspoon or two of water (before spreading in the pan) for easier spreading. Bake in preheated oven for about 9 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.

2. For the sauce, combine the brown sugar, milk and lard. Stir until dissolved, and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add the extract and chips. Beat until thick, and spread on the crust.


Notes:
*You may need to add a little water if the dough is too thick to spread in the pan.
**For the milk in the topping I used some "cream cheese" that my sister made, that didn't turn out right - it was really thin (it smelled like cream cheese, it just was too thin to hang), so we used it in baking.
