You might recoil in shock when you first hear of a pizza made out of bananas and curry powder, but if you like your pizza sweet and want to try out something new, you might want to give this one a shot! The combo does sound strange, but rumor has it that it tastes phenomenal! Crazily popular in Sweden, this goofy pizza is made using pizza sauce (preferably organic), ripe bananas, curry powder, grated smoked cheese, and mozzarella. The bananas are cut into thin slices and distributed evenly over the pizza, followed by sprinkling the bananas with curry powder (as much as you like).

Have you ever eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and felt how incredibly good it tasted? Well, wait till you taste the flavor of peanut butter and jelly when they’re melted – not kidding, it will blow your mind away! Exceptionally easy to make, this epic pizza only needs three ingredients that you’ve already guessed – pizza dough, peanut butter, and jelly. The pizza crust is smeared with melted peanut butter (warm the peanut butter in a microwave for about a minute). The jam is also warmed in the microwave until it is slightly liquidy and ready to be transferred into a squeeze bottle. Squeeze the jam in circles over the pizza crust which is smeared with peanut butter and that’s it, the pizza is ready to be devoured! Simple, tasty, and extremely easy to make, the sweetness of the jam and salty flavor of peanut butter make this pizza a super hit.
