Featuring Noosa Black Garlic Caramelized Paste

Sweet. Salty. Creamy. Crispy.

This Black Garlic, Fig, Gorgonzola & Prosciutto Pizza is the ultimate gourmet flavour combination - where rich, Caramelized Black Garlic Paste meets the sweetness of figs, the saltiness of prosciutto, and the creaminess of beautifully melting cheeses.

Now elevated with the option of Gorgonzola, this pizza leans even further into that irresistible sweet–salty–funky balance.

Recipe Details

Serves: 2–4
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10–12 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 pizza bases (store-bought or homemade)

  • 3–4 tbsp Noosa Black Garlic - Caramelized Black Garlic Paste

  • 6–8 fresh figs, sliced (or dried figs if out of season)

  • 100 g prosciutto, torn into ribbons

  • 1–1½ cups mozzarella, torn or grated

Cheese Options (choose one or combine)

  • ½ cup goat’s cheese (soft, tangy)

  • ½ cup ricotta (light, creamy)

  • ½ cup Gorgonzola (bold, rich, slightly funky)

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • Fresh thyme leaves

  • Fresh rocket, to serve

Optional Finish

Method

1. Preheat

Preheat your oven to 250°C (or as high as it will go).
If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

2. Build the base

Place the pizza bases onto trays or a floured surface.

Spread a generous layer of Noosa Black Garlic Caramelized Paste over each base — creating a rich, umami-packed foundation.

3. Add toppings

Layer over:

  • mozzarella

  • figs

  • your chosen cheese (goat’s cheese, ricotta or Gorgonzola)

Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh thyme.

4. Bake

Transfer to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until:

  • the base is crisp

  • the cheese is bubbling and golden

5. Finish with prosciutto

Remove from the oven and immediately top with:

  • ribbons of prosciutto

  • fresh rocket

(Optional: drizzle with Black Garlic Honey or balsamic glaze)

Serve

Slice and serve immediately while warm, crisp and beautifully melty.

Serving Suggestions

Perfect for:

  • entertaining platters

  • elevated pizza nights

  • long lunches with friends

Pair with:

  • chilled rosé

  • Pinot Noir

  • or a crisp Italian-style white

Why This Works

This pizza is all about contrast:

  • Black Garlic Paste → sweet, rich, umami

  • Figs → soft, natural sweetness

  • Prosciutto → salty, delicate

  • Gorgonzola (optional) → bold, creamy, slightly funky

  • Rocket → fresh, peppery lift

Together, they create a perfectly balanced, restaurant-quality pizza at home.

Pro Tip

If using Gorgonzola, use slightly less than goat’s cheese — its flavour is more intense and beautifully complements the black garlic without overpowering it.

The Takeaway

Simple ingredients. Elevated flavour.
This is Noosa Black Garlic pizza — indulgent, elegant, and impossible to forget.
