Instructions
Step 1: Make the Brownie Crust
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a round pizza pan or line with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar.
-
Add eggs and vanilla, whisking until smooth.
-
Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until combined.
-
Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
-
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
-
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.
Notes
Cool the Brownie Fully – Prevents melting the frosting.
Use Fresh, Firm Fruit – Adds texture and beauty.
Add Bananas Last – Prevent browning by adding them just before serving.
Chill Before Slicing – Makes cleaner cuts and better presentation.
