Ingredients
Crust and Base
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough 8-ounce cans
- 1 package cream cheese 8-ounce, softened at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix 1-ounce
Toppings
- 1 small head broccoli finely chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup cauliflower finely chopped
- 1/2 cup carrots finely chopped
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the 2 cans of crescent dough and press the seams together to form a single, even layer on an ungreased 10x15-inch rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the crust cools, make the creamy base. In a medium bowl, combine the 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, and the entire 1-ounce packet of ranch dressing mix. Use an electric hand mixer on medium speed to blend until the mixture is completely smooth and spreadable, with no lumps.
- Once the crescent roll crust has cooled completely to room temperature, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface, going all the way to the edges.
- Sprinkle the 1 cup of finely chopped broccoli, 1 cup of cauliflower, 1/2 cup of carrots, and 1/2 cup of red bell pepper evenly over the cream cheese layer, pressing them in gently so they adhere.
- Top the assembled pizza with 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Cover the pizza with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the pizza to firm up for easier slicing.
- Remove the pizza from the refrigerator, cut it into 2-inch squares with a sharp knife, and serve chilled.
Notes
Ensure the crust is completely cool before adding the cream cheese layer to prevent it from melting. Chill for at least 1 hour for best results.
