Grilled Blueberry Dessert Pizza: Summer Fruit Pizza Recipe

This Grilled Blueberry Dessert Pizza Recipe is a perfect dessert for your next cookout! Prep your ingredients ahead to save on time!

If you’ve never grilled pizza, you’re in for a treat. I used to only make pizzas in the oven—even in Arizona summers that top 120°F—until I tried grilling. Now I reach for the grill whenever possible. Grilling keeps the house cool, cooks dough quickly (about 2 minutes per side for homemade dough), and adds charred grill marks and a smoky flavor that looks and tastes amazing.

The real magic with this dessert pizza is how fast it comes together and how perfectly blueberries work on the grill. I top the crust with a honey-lemon cream cheese spread (think no-bake cheesecake), then spoon on macerated, grilled blueberries and finish with a touch of lemon zest. The combination is bright, sweet, and wonderfully summer-friendly. Yes, it can get a bit messy, but it’s absolutely worth it.

This dessert is ideal when the grill is already hot from dinner—why not finish the meal right there? I often serve it after a savory grilled pizza, like a Grilled BBQ Pulled Pork & Peach Pizza, for a full grilled feast that covers dinner and dessert.

We love serving this alongside a savory grilled pizza for a complete, crowd-pleasing meal made entirely on the grill.

Ingredients

1 pint fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Pizza dough for one 12-inch pizza (store-bought or homemade)
Vegetable oil, as needed for the grill
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Equipment:

Aluminum foil

Instructions

Place the blueberries and sugar in a bowl, stir to combine, and let them macerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high (about 400°F). Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil if needed to prevent sticking.
Roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle.
Place the dough on the grill and close the lid. Cook about 2 minutes until the bottom is cooked and slightly crisp.
Flip the dough using tongs and cook another 2 minutes until cooked through.
Remove the crust to a cutting board or baking sheet.
Shape a 1-foot piece of foil into a shallow boat with raised edges to hold the blueberries.
Pour the macerated blueberries into the foil boat and place on the grill. Cook about 2 minutes, until the berries soften and the juices bubble.
Carefully transfer the foil boat off the grill to a baking sheet to avoid spills.
In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, honey, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread the mixture over the grilled crust.
Spoon the warm blueberries over the cream cheese, sprinkle with lemon zest if desired, and serve immediately.
