In this recipe, the stars are the berries. They provide a fresh and tangy contrast to the richness of the brownies and frosting. Plus, they’re what give this dessert its patriotic colours! The cream cheese frosting brings a creamy, velvety touch that heightens the chewy, fudgy texture of the brownies. If you can’t find fresh berries, frozen ones will do. Just make sure to thaw and drain them first to avoid a soggy crust!
How To Make Red White and Blue Brownie Pizza
- Preheat your oven to 350��F. Grease your pizza pan.
- In a bowl, combine the brownie mix, water, oil, and eggs. Stir until well blended.
- Spread the mixture into your prepared pizza pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until set.
- While the brownie crust is baking, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the brownie crust has cooled, spread cream cheese mixture evenly on top, then arrange your berries to resemble a flag, circles, or any pattern you like!
Tips For The Best Results
- Bake the brownie crust just until set. It should still have a little bit of a fudgy texture.
- Make sure the brownie crust is completely cooled before applying the cream cheese frosting to avoid melting.
- Arrange the berries right before serving to prevent them from bleeding into the frosting.
Storage Tips
- The dessert pizza is best eaten fresh. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to a month.
- Thaw frozen brownie pizza in the fridge overnight before serving.
