Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Brownie Crust

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a round pizza pan or line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar.
3. Add eggs and vanilla, whisking until smooth.
4. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until combined.
5. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
6. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
7. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
8. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
9. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and mix well.
10. Add milk 1 tbsp at a time until you reach a spreadable consistency.

Step 3: Assemble the Fruit Pizza
11. Once the brownie base is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
12. Arrange sliced fruit in a circular pattern or get creative with fun designs.
13. Add mint leaves for a fresh finish if desired.

Step 4: Chill & Serve
14. Refrigerate the brownie pizza for 30 minutes before serving to help set the frosting.
15. Slice like a pizza and serve chilled.

Tips for Perfect Brownie Fruit Pizza
Cool the Brownie Fully – Prevents melting the frosting.

Add Bananas Last – Prevent browning by adding them just before serving.
