Brownie Fruit Pizza
Description
The Brownie Fruit Pizza consists of a fudgy brownie layer baked in a round pizza pan to a slightly firm edge and flaky surface. After several hours of cooling, the topping is prepared by whipping softened cream cheese with heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until thick and fluffy. This creamy layer spreads evenly over the brownie base. Fresh sliced strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries are arranged on top, adding freshness, vibrant color, and a balance of tartness against the rich brownie and cream.
This dessert offers a textural contrast between the dense, chewy brownies and the airy cream cheese topping matched with the juicy bite of fresh berries. It makes an attractive centerpiece for casual parties or festive occasions. The recipe allows for flexibility in presentation, even enabling a patriotic-themed topping by arranging red, white, and blue berries.
Leftover slices can be refrigerated to maintain freshness, and the dessert is best served chilled. The cream cheese layer may be substituted with whipped cream or Cool Whip, but this will alter the flavor and consistency from the original recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix plus ingredients listed on box to make them
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 8 ripe strawberries (sliced for topping)
- ½ cup raspberry
- ½ cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a rimmed 12 or 14-inch round pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside
- Prepare the brownie mix according to box directions for "fudge" consistency.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and use a rubber spatula to spread the batter out.
- Bake for 15 minutes, the brownies should have the typically flaky film over the top and the edges should be firm.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 2 hours on a wire rack.
- Prepare the whipped cream by beating the cream cheese until smooth then slowly add the heavy cream while mixing on medium-low speed. Add the vanilla and powdered sugar and beat for 1 to 2 minutes on medium high speed until thick and fluffy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the brownies then top with fruit. Slice and enjoy.
Notes
- Chill the dessert before serving or refrigerate leftovers to keep the cream layer stable and fresh.
- The cream cheese topping creates more flavor and texture than whipped cream or Cool Whip alone.
- Arrange berries in patterns like an American flag to create themed variations for celebrations.
