Introduction

This Easy Brownie Pizza is a fun and delicious twist on a classic dessert. With a fudgy brownie base topped with creamy frosting, fresh strawberries, and drizzled chocolate, it’s perfect for sharing at any gathering.

A round dessert with three visible layers: the bottom layer is thick and dark brown, looking like a chocolate crust; the middle layer is a smooth creamy white filling that covers the crust fully; the top layer consists of sliced strawberries spread evenly across the white filling, with thin, dark brown chocolate drizzles crisscrossing over the strawberries and the white layer. The dessert is in a dark metal pan and placed on a white marbled surface, with a few whole strawberries nearby. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 approximately 18 ounce package fudge brownie mix
2 large eggs
¼ cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
1 8-ounce block (226g) cream cheese, room temperature
3 cups (339g) powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons milk or cream
Strawberries
Dark, white, or milk chocolate candy melts

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 12-inch round pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray, preferably one that contains flour for best results.
Step 2: In a large bowl, stir together the brownie mix, vegetable oil, and water. Then, add the eggs and stir until just combined.
Step 3: Pour the batter onto the prepared pizza pan and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4: Let the brownie cool in the pan for about one hour. While it cools, prepare the frosting.
Step 5: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.
Step 6: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownie, leaving about a ¼ inch border around the edge unfrosted.
Step 7: Hull and slice the strawberries, patting them dry so they aren’t too wet. Arrange the strawberries over the frosted brownie.
Step 8: Melt the chocolate candy melts in the microwave at 50% power for 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the strawberries and frosting.
Step 9: Allow 15 to 20 minutes for the chocolate drizzle to harden before serving.
Step 10: Serve the brownie pizza immediately from the pan or refrigerate uncovered for up to 3 hours before serving.

Tips & Variations

Substitute other fresh fruits like blueberries or kiwi for a colorful variation.
Use flavored cream cheese or add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor in the frosting.
If you prefer a crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts over the frosting before adding the strawberries.
Be careful not to overbake the brownie base to keep it fudgy and soft.

Storage

Store the brownie pizza uncovered in the refrigerator for up to 3 hours for best texture. If you need to keep it longer, cover it loosely with plastic wrap and store for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly at room temperature before serving, but avoid microwaving to prevent melting the chocolate drizzle.

How to Serve

A slice of dessert with three main layers sits on a white plate. The bottom layer is a dark brown, textured, thick crust that looks crunchy. Above it is a smooth white layer of creamy topping, spread evenly. On top of the white layer are fresh, bright red strawberry slices scattered around. Thin lines of dark brown chocolate drizzle cross over the strawberries and the creamy layer, creating a web-like pattern. Next to the slice is an old-looking silver fork with decorative handle details. In the background, there are more strawberry slices and another dessert slice on a white plate, all set on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use homemade brownie batter instead of a mix?

Absolutely! Homemade brownie batter works great and allows you to customize the flavor and texture to your liking.

How do I keep the strawberries from making the frosting soggy?

Make sure to thoroughly pat the strawberries dry after washing. This helps prevent excess moisture from seeping into the frosting and keeps your brownie pizza fresh.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

1 package (approx 18 ounces) fudge brownie mix
2 large eggs
¼ cup water
½ cup vegetable oil

Cream Cheese Frosting

1 8-ounce block (226g) cream cheese, room temperature
3 cups (339g) powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons milk or cream

Toppings

Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Dark, white, or milk chocolate candy melts

Instructions

Preheat and prep the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 12-inch round pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray, preferably one containing flour to ensure the brownie doesn’t stick.
Mix brownie batter: In a large bowl, combine the fudge brownie mix with the vegetable oil and water. Stir well to incorporate, then add the eggs and mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and uniform.
Bake the brownie base: Pour the batter evenly into the greased pizza pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the brownie: Allow the brownie to cool completely in the pan for about one hour. This helps the brownie set and makes it easier to frost.
Prepare the cream cheese frosting: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat together the room temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1-2 tablespoons of milk or cream until smooth and creamy.
Frost the brownie base: Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled brownie, leaving a ¼-inch border around the edge unfrosted to mimic a pizza crust.
Add strawberry topping: Hull and slice fresh strawberries, patting them dry if necessary to avoid excess moisture. Arrange the sliced strawberries over the frosting evenly.
Melt the chocolate candy melts: Heat the chocolate wafers in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Drizzle chocolate over pizza: Drizzle the melted chocolate candy melts in a decorative pattern on top of the strawberries and frosting.
Set the chocolate drizzle: Let the melted chocolate harden for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
Serve or store: Serve the brownie pizza immediately from the pan, or refrigerate uncovered for up to 3 hours before serving for a firmer texture.

Notes

Make sure strawberries are well dried to prevent excess moisture from making the frosting runny.
You can use any type of chocolate candy melts—dark, milk, or white—to customize the flavor and look.
For easier slicing, refrigerate the brownie pizza after assembling to help the frosting and toppings firm up.
If you prefer, swap the vegetable oil for melted butter for a richer brownie flavor.
This dessert is best enjoyed within a few hours of preparation to maintain freshness and texture.
