Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (plus eggs, oil, and water as directed on the package)
Cream Cheese Topping
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit Topping
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup pineapple, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) ensuring it reaches the correct temperature before baking for even cooking.
- Prepare Brownie Batter. Follow the directions on your brownie mix box carefully, combining the mix with the recommended eggs, oil, and water to create your batter.
- Spread Batter. Grease a 12-inch pizza pan or a round baking dish thoroughly, then spread the brownie batter evenly across the surface for a uniform thickness.
- Bake Brownie Base. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake according to the package instructions. Once baked, remove and allow to cool completely to avoid melting the topping later.
- Make Cream Cheese Frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Assemble the Pizza. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled brownie base, creating a creamy layer.
- Add Fruit Toppings. Arrange the mixed berries, sliced kiwi, and chopped pineapple decoratively on top of the cream cheese layer, making it visually appealing.
- Serve. Slice the brownie fruit pizza into wedges and serve immediately or chill it in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy for a refreshing dessert.
Notes
- Ensure the brownie base is completely cooled before spreading the cream cheese mixture to prevent melting.
- Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor and visual appeal.
- Customization: Feel free to use different fruits based on seasonality or preference.
- Chilling the dessert before serving can help the topping set but it can also be enjoyed fresh.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free brownie mix.
