Brownie Fruit Pizza

Ingredients

For the Brownie Base:

1 box of brownie mix (or homemade brownies, prepared according to package or recipe instructions)

2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (or as called for by the brownie mix)

2 eggs (or as called for by the brownie mix)

¼ cup water (or as called for by the brownie mix)

For the Topping:

1 cup cream cheese, softened

½ cup powdered sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon milk (or more if needed to adjust consistency)

Fresh fruit of your choice (e.g., strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, bananas, and pineapple)

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large pizza pan or a round baking pan.

Prepare the brownie base according to the package instructions (mixing the brownie mix with oil, eggs, and water).

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Bake according to the package instructions (typically 20-25 minutes) or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow the brownie base to cool completely before topping.

While the brownie cools, prepare the creamy topping. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the cream cheese mixture reaches a spreadable consistency.

Once the brownie base has cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface.

Arrange your fresh fruit on top of the cream cheese layer, creating a colorful and vibrant pattern.

Slice and serve immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving for a chilled option.

Variations

Brownie Base Alternatives: Instead of a box of brownie mix, I sometimes make the brownie base from scratch for a richer flavor. You can also use gluten-free brownie mix or low-sugar brownie mix if desired.

Fruit Variations: Feel free to get creative with the fruit! Some of my favorites are strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and pineapple, but you could also add mango, raspberries, or even grapes for a different twist.

Topping Adjustments: If you prefer a lighter topping, I sometimes swap out the cream cheese for Greek yogurt. You could also add a bit of lemon zest for a fresh, zesty kick.

Storage/Reheating

To store, I recommend keeping the brownie fruit pizza covered in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 2 days. If you have leftovers, just cover the pizza and refrigerate. As for reheating, the brownie base itself can be warmed in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds if you prefer it slightly warm, but I love it chilled straight from the fridge!

FAQs

Can I make the brownie base ahead of time?

Yes, you can bake the brownie base a day ahead and store it at room temperature in an airtight container. Just make sure it’s completely cooled before topping it.

What fruits are best for topping the pizza?

I love using fresh and vibrant fruits like strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, and bananas. You can also try tropical fruits like pineapple or mango, depending on your preference!

Can I use a different type of frosting for the topping?

Absolutely! If you want to change up the flavor, you can use whipped cream or mascarpone cheese as a substitute for the cream cheese frosting.

How do I keep the fruit from getting soggy?

To prevent sogginess, I recommend arranging the fruit just before serving. If you're making it ahead, be sure to refrigerate it immediately after adding the topping.

Is this recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet?

Yes, it is! If you use a gluten-free brownie mix, this recipe becomes a gluten-free dessert. Just make sure to check the ingredients of the brownie mix for any gluten-containing products.

This brownie fruit pizza is such a fun and unique dessert that combines the indulgence of brownies with the freshness of fruit. It’s versatile, easy to prepare, and perfect for a crowd.
