Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 cups assorted fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon water (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-inch pizza pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until combined.
Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture until smooth.
Sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.
Spread the brownie batter evenly onto the prepared pizza pan. Use a spatula to smooth out the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Let the brownie base cool completely in the pan.
While the brownie base cools, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and heavy cream, and beat until light and fluffy.
Once the brownie base has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the surface.
Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the frosting in an appealing pattern or design.
For an optional glaze, warm the honey and water in a small saucepan over low heat until thin and syrupy. Brush the glaze lightly over the fruit to add shine.
Refrigerate the brownie fruit pizza for 1-2 hours to set before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
