Ingredients…
For the cookie base
115g butter, at room temperature
150g granulated sugar
1 large egg, plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
3 tbsp Percy Pig dessert sauce
190g plain flour, sieved
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pink or red food colouring (optional)
30g mini marshmallows
60g white chocolate chunks
For the buttercream
100g butter, softened
50g Percy Pig dessert sauce
300g icing sugar
2 tbsp milk
Pink/red food colouring
For the toppings
Percy Pig dessert sauce
Mini marshmallows
Party Percy sweets
M&S jazzie sprinkles
Method
1. Preheat oven to 175°C/150°C fan/gas mark 3. Line a pizza pan or, if you want a deeper dish pizza, an 8- or 9-inch cake tin with greaseproof paper.
2. For the base, in a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and the sugar with an electric whisk until light and fluffy.
3. Whisk in the egg and the egg yolk, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed until fully incorporated. Add the Percy Pig dessert sauce and whisk.
4. Sift in the plain flour and baking powder, in two additions, whisking on a low speed after each addition until smooth. The mixture should be quite thick and smooth.
5. Whisk in pink or red food colouring, if using – a few drops should be all that is required to give a light pink colour – then fold through the mini marshmallows and white chocolate chunks.
6. Pour the mix onto the pizza pan or into the lined tin and level the top. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from the oven and leave to cool.
7. For the buttercream, beat together the butter, dessert sauce, icing sugar and milk until smooth.
8. Gradually add drops of pink or red food colouring, mixing after each addition, until the buttercream is as pink as Percy.
9. Spread the buttercream evenly onto the fully cooled cookie base, leaving some space around the edge, then drizzle the pizza with Percy Pig dessert sauce before decorating with mini marshmallows, Party Percy sweets and jazzie sprinkles.
