Preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a pizza stone or baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, cook the cauliflower rice in the microwave for 5 minutes or until tender. Let it cool slightly, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, eggs, sea salt, and garlic powder. Mix until a dough forms.
Press the dough onto the prepared parchment paper to form a 10-inch pizza crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the crust is baking, prepare the cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the cream cheese over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar until smooth. Remove from heat.
Once the crust is done, spread the cheese sauce evenly over the surface.
Top the pizza with zucchini slices, yellow bell pepper strips, and cherry tomato halves. Drizzle olive oil over the toppings and season with ground black pepper.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the toppings are tender and slightly roasted.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly summer sweet corn-inspired pizza!
