Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pizza is the ultimate dessert pizza, with a chewy chocolate chip cookie crust, creamy cheesecake, fresh strawberries, and a rich chocolate drizzle!

Love my Chocolate Covered Strawberry Fruit Pizza? These fudgy Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies are the rich, chocolatey version, with everything you love about chocolate covered strawberries packed into an irresistible brownie.

Why you’ll love this recipe:

If you’re a fan of chocolate covered strawberries, cheesecake, and chocolate chip cookies, I have THE dessert for you!

This Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pizza is basically all three of those things in one ridiculously good dessert. It starts with store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough pressed into a pan and baked until golden and chewy. Once it cools, it gets covered with a creamy no-bake cheesecake layer, fresh chopped strawberries, and a generous drizzle of melted chocolate.

And honestly? It’s hard to stop at one slice.

I love a good dessert pizza because it takes something familiar and makes it just a little more fun. This one might be my favorite because it combines so many classic dessert flavors in one bite.

The cookie crust is soft, buttery, and loaded with chocolate chips. Then you get that cool, creamy cheesecake topping, followed by juicy fresh strawberries and rich melted chocolate.

It really does taste like a chocolate covered strawberry cheesecake sitting on top of a giant chocolate chip cookie. What’s not to love about that?

Ingredients you’ll need:

Chocolate chip cookie dough- store-bought
Cream cheese- softened
Heavy whipping cream
Powdered sugar
Vanilla extract
Fresh strawberries- diced
Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Vegetable oil

The cookie crust gives you that familiar chocolate chip cookie flavor, but because it’s baked as one big crust, every slice has a satisfying chewy edge and soft center.

The cheesecake layer is where things get really good. Cream cheese, whipped cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla make a topping that’s rich and creamy without being as heavy as a traditional baked cheesecake.

Then come the strawberries.

Fresh strawberries add just enough tartness and juiciness to balance all that richness. And once the melted chocolate gets drizzled over the top, the whole thing tastes exactly like the chocolate-covered-strawberry combination we all know and love.

The best part is that it looks way more impressive than it actually is!

You don’t need to make a homemade cookie dough or spend hours making a cheesecake. Store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough gives you an easy cookie crust, and the cheesecake topping comes together without turning on the oven.

That makes this an especially great easy dessert pizza when you want something that feels homemade and special without making an entire project out of dessert.

How to make the best Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pizza:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8×15 baking sheet baking pan with parchment paper.
Place your cookie dough into your lined baking pan and press it down to form a crust.
Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until it’s golden to your liking, then remove from the oven and let cool completely.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to whip out any lumps.
Evenly spread the cheesecake mixture on top of the cooled cookie crust, then top with your diced strawberries.
In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in-between, until melted and smooth.
Transfer the melted chocolate into a ziploc bag, cut off one end, and drizzle it over the strawberries. Transfer to the fridge to set the chocolate, about 1 hour.
Slice into squares and enjoy!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pizza is the dessert you make when you can’t decide between cookies, cheesecake, or chocolate covered strawberries because you get all three in every bite!

You get the chewy goodness of a chocolate chip cookie, the creamy richness of cheesecake, and the classic combination of fresh strawberries and chocolate. Every bite has a little bit of everything, and somehow it all works perfectly together.

Plus, there’s just something fun about telling people you’re serving dessert pizza. And when that dessert pizza is covered in strawberries and chocolate? Even better!

This is one of those desserts that also works for just about any occasion. Bring it to a summer cookout, make it for Valentine’s Day, serve it at a birthday party, or just make it on a Saturday when you feel like treating yourself.

And because you slice it into squares like a pizza, it’s really easy to serve.

I also love that you can make the cookie crust and cheesecake layer ahead of time, then add the strawberries and chocolate shortly before serving. Just make sure you give the crust plenty of time to cool before adding the cheesecake mixture.

My top tips:

LINE YOUR PAN: Use parchment paper to fully line the baking pan, leaving extra overhang on the sides. This makes it easier to lift the cookie out in one piece for neater slicing later on.
COOKIE DOUGH: You already know I had to throw a shortcut in here somewhere so we’re using store-bought cookie dough to make this recipe even easier! If you’d like to make your cookie layer from scratch, use a recipe that traditionally fits a 9×13 pan so that the cookie layer is not too thin.
COOLING: It’s important to let the cookie crust cool completely before topping it with your no bake cheesecake mixture, strawberries, and melted chocolate. If you top a warm cookie, the cookie will likely sink and become soggy.
SOFTENED CREAM CHEESE: Softened cream cheese is key in this recipe! It’s super important to make sure your cream cheese is fully softened so that it incorporates into the other ingredients easily and ensures your cheesecake layer will be super smooth and creamy rather than lumpy.
ELECTRIC MIXER: An electric mixer is helpful to make the cheesecake filling super light and fluffy. You can still make the filling without one, just make sure the cold ingredients have come to room temperature and get ready for a good arm workout!
STRAWBERRIES: Only use fresh berries here as frozen strawberries will become too mushy once they thaw. I like chopping my strawberries into small pieces for this, but feel free to make them as small or large as you like.
MELTING CHOCOLATE: I recommend microwaving the chocolate in 30 second intervals to prevent any burning. I also like adding vegetable oil to the chocolate to thin it out a little and make it a better consistency for coating. You could also use coconut oil for a similar result.
DRIZZLING: I find it helpful to transfer the remaining melted chocolate into a Ziploc bag before cutting off one end and drizzling. This makes the chocolate drizzle more evenly and keeps things mess free.
CHILLING: If you’re impatient like me, you’re going to want to transfer your Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pizza to the fridge for 30 minutes to make the chocolate set up faster. These are best enjoyed directly from the fridge, so if I were you, I would just refrigerate until serving.
STORING: This is one of those recipes that is best enjoyed day of so that the strawberries don’t become too soft or soggy. I do not recommend storing these for more than 1-2 days in the fridge.
