Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownie Base:
- 1 box (18.3 oz) brownie mix (or homemade brownie recipe)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Berry Topping:
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round pizza pan (about 12 inches) or line it with parchment paper.
- Make the Brownie Base:
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions (or use your favorite homemade recipe). This typically involves mixing the brownie mix with eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the brownie batter onto the prepared pizza pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake according to the package instructions, usually 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Let the brownie cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until fully combined and smooth.
- Add vanilla extract and beat until fluffy and light.
- Assemble the Pizza:
- Once the brownie base has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the brownie crust.
- Arrange the fresh berries on top of the frosting in a decorative pattern.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
- Slice and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. The Berry Brownie Pizza can be stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
Notes
- Feel free to use any combination of berries you like—blackberries, strawberries, and even kiwi slices work great!
- You can make this dessert ahead of time. Simply store the assembled brownie pizza in the fridge until serving.
- If you prefer a slightly tangier frosting, add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the cream cheese frosting.
