Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large round pizza pan or line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pizza pan, spreading it evenly to create a circular brownie "crust" with slightly raised edges.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the brownie crust from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. This should take approximately 30-40 minutes.
- Once cooled, spread the whipped cream evenly over the brownie base, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries in a circular pattern on top of the whipped cream, covering about one-third of the surface.
- Carefully place the blueberries in another section of the "pizza", creating a visually appealing red, white, and blue design.
- Refrigerate the brownie pizza for 15-20 minutes to allow the whipped cream to set before serving.
- Slice into wedges like a pizza and serve chilled. Best enjoyed on the same day of preparation.
Tips
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and perfect brownie crust edges
- Allow the brownie base to cool completely to prevent whipped cream from melting
- For extra stability, you can use stabilized whipped cream that holds its shape longer
- Slice strawberries uniformly for a more professional presentation
- Chill the dessert before serving to help the whipped cream set and enhance flavor
- For a more decadent version, you can drizzle white chocolate over the top
- Use fresh, ripe berries for the most vibrant colors and best taste
- If preparing in advance, add berries just before serving to prevent sogginess
