Cinnamon Roll Dessert Pizza is a grain, gluten and yeast free crust topped with a buttery, cinnamon sugar streusel and drizzled with cream cheese frosting!
Yes, I’m a fitness & nutrition coach, but I also believe in eating a balanced diet that includes sweets (and beer). If you can’t treat yourself (and enjoy it) then what the heck are you even doing? No one food is going to make or break your diet and goals, it’s truly just about finding balance in everything!
This dessert pizza is delicious and I would never want to skip out on it. Served up with a veggie filled omelet and I had myself a very balanced meal! Another way to practice moderation is to only make things like this when you have company. You’ll have no option but to share and there won’t be any leftovers for you to be tempted to over eat!
For this cinnamon roll inspired pizza, I topped with butter, a cinnamon/coconut sugar mixture and then a heavy coating of cream cheese frosting!

To Make Crust:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups tapioca flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon and baking powder.
Add in eggs and combine with a wooden spoon till mixture looks very crumbly.
Next, add in milk and continue mixing with a wooden spoon till mixture forms into a ball and is very sticky.
Add in remaining 1/4 cup tapioca flour and knead dough with hands until dough is soft and easy to work with.
Cover countertop with tapioca flour and roll dough out to a 10x10 inch pizza crust. Sprinkle tapioca flour on top of dough, fold dough in half and transfer to a parchment paper lined pizza sheet. Unfold pizza onto sheet.
Bake crust at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
While crust is baking, prepare cinnamon streusel by melting butter in a small dish and combining coconut sugar and cinnamon in another dish.
When crust is done, remove from oven and spread butter over crust then sprinkle cinnamon/sugar mixture evenly on top of butter.
Put crust back in the oven and bake for 5 more minutes at 375 minutes.
While crust is baking, prepare Cream Cheese Frosting by blending cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, powdered sugar and milk in a medium mixing bowl.
When crust is done, remove from oven and slice, using a pizza cutter, into 8 big slices or 16 smaller slices.
Pour cream cheese frosting over streusel and serve warm.
