Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Crust
- 1 package fudge brownie mix (8-inch square pan size)
Creamy Topping
- 1–1/4 cups cold 2% milk
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2–1/2 cups whipped topping
Toppings
- 2 cups mixed fresh berries
- Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
- Chopped pecans, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the brownie crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan. Prepare the brownie mix batter following the package directions, then spread the batter evenly over the prepared pizza pan to form the crust.
- Bake the brownie: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Once baked, transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the brownie cool for about 15 minutes.
- Make the creamy topping: While the brownie is cooling, whisk together the cold 2% milk and instant vanilla pudding mix in a large bowl for about two minutes. Allow the mixture to stand for approximately two minutes until it soft-sets. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.
- Assemble the dessert pizza: Evenly spread the creamy vanilla pudding topping over the cooled brownie crust. Arrange the mixed fresh berries on top decoratively, then drizzle chocolate syrup over the fruit and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the assembled fruit brownie pizza until chilled before slicing and serving to enhance flavors and texture.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh, ripe berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
- You can substitute whipped topping with whipped cream if preferred for a more natural option.
- Be sure not to overbake the brownie crust to maintain a moist texture that complements the creamy topping.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
