Cuisine American
- 1 box brownie mix (choose your favorite, I used gluten-free)
- 6 oz. blueberries
- 6 oz. strawberries sliced
Frosting:
- 1 cup butter melted
- 4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cup confectioner's sugar
- 12 oz. cream cheese
Turn the oven on and make brownie batter according to package instructions. When the batter is stirred well and complete, pour on to a small sheet pan and press batter down flat with a spatula or your fingers until the batter is smooth, and spread out over the entire sheet pan. Cook according to brownie package instructions.
When the brownies are done, take out of oven and set aside until completely cooled off.
While you are waiting for the brownies to cool off, prep the berries and frosting.
Rinse the blueberries and strawberries.
Slice the strawberries long ways from the top down to the bottom tip of the strawberry, discard the side parts (the middle is the best to use to make a beautiful strawberry pattern, on your dessert pizza from the lines of the strawberry).
To make the frosting:
Melt butter in a microwave-safe dish and microwave until melted (about 10 seconds or so).
Transfer to a bowl (or electric mixer), on low, and beat with cream cheese and vanilla extract until nearly fluffy. This will take about 5 minutes. Gradually stir in confectioner's sugar into cream cheese mixture to make a smooth frosting.
Store in refrigerator.
Dessert Pizza:
To finish your dessert pizza, spread your homemade frosting thick on to your pizza (about 1/2 in.). Place your blueberries in a 6 by 8 rectangle shape in the left upper corner of the frosted brownies. Next, make 4 strawberry stripes, starting at the very top of the sheet pan and working your way down.
