Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups of almond flour, 2 tablespoons of cream cheese, and 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, stir, then continue microwaving in 20-second increments until the cheese is melted and the mixture is well-combined.
Add 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a round pizza crust about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread 0.5 cup of low-carb tomato sauce over it.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tomato sauce.
Arrange 4 slices of prosciutto over the cheese.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper over the top.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with 6 fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
