Directions

1. Start by making the ganache.

   1. Place the chopped chocolate in a medium heat proof bowl. In a small pot, heat the heavy cream over medium low heat stirring occasionally until it hits a low simmer.

   2. Pour the warm heavy cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes. Whisk the heavy cream and chocolate together until it is emulsified. Let the ganache cool. It will thicken as it cools.

1. To make the meringue.

1. In a medium saucepan add about 2 inches of water. Bring the water to a simmer (do not boil) over medium low heat. In a medium heat proof bowl add all the meringue ingredients and whisk well. Place the bowl over the saucepan to make a double boiler (do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water). Whisk constantly until the mixture reaches 160F degrees.

2. Remove the bowl from the heat and pour the meringue mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whip the mixture on medium high speed until medium peaks are formed. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a closed star tip.

2. Assemble the pizzas:

1. Preheat the oven to 500F with a pizza stone on the lower rack (or preheat your grill with a pizza stone on the grates to 500F.)

2. Take one dough ball and stretch it to 8” in diameter. Place on a sheet of parchment paper. Brush the edges of the crust with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky salt.

3. Add 1/8 cup (2 Tablespoons) of chocolate ganache and spread around. Thinly slice the sweet potatoes with a mandoline. Lightly brush the sweet potato slices with olive oil and layer them onto the ganache leaving some of the ganache peeking through.

4. Bake on the pizza stone for ~8 minutes or until the crust is golden and the ganache is bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before piping on the meringue topping. Toast the meringue with a kitchen torch. Sprinkle with flaky salt and chopped pistachios.
