DIRECTIONS:

To prepare nuts cream cheese spread, preheat the oven to 350°F. Toast almonds and pistachios for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, transfer nuts to the food processor, and process until finely ground. Add maple syrup, cocoa powder, and sugar and process until pasty. Transfer to a small bowl and add cream cheese.

To prepare Raisin Wine Jam, combine raisins and wine in a saucepan on medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until juices are gone, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool. Transfer to a blender or food processor and process to a smooth paste.

To prepare Pizza and Garnishes, preheat the oven to 500°F. Stretch dough to 10-inch round and top with nuts cream cheese, blue cheese, figs, and kumquats. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle with Raisin Wine Jam and maple syrup. Top with Carmody cheese.
