Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • Eat immedietly!
