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
  • 12 tablespoons milk or cream

Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Drizzle chocolate over pizza: Drizzle the melted chocolate candy melts in a decorative pattern on top of the strawberries and frosting.
  10. Set the chocolate drizzle: Let the melted chocolate harden for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
  11. 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.
