Ingredients

For the brownie

  • cooking spray
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small cubes
  • 4 ounces semi sweet chocolate coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the cream cheese frosting

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon milk

For the pizza topping

  • 2 1/2 cups fruit such as raspberries, blueberries and sliced kiwi
  • mint springs for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 inch round pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Place the butter and chocolate into a large bowl. Melt in microwave - heat for 30 second intervals and stir between each interval until butter and chocolate are melted and thoroughly combined. 
  • Add the sugar and stir to combine.
  • Let the chocolate mixture cool for 5 minutes. then whisk in the eggs one at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition. 
  • Whisk in vanilla. Gently fold in flour and salt. 
  • Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes and then run a thin knife along the side of the pan to loosen the brownie. 
  • Let the brownie cool for another 10-15 minutes at room temperature and then chill the brownie, still in its pan for another 30 minutes. Remove from fridge and invert the pan onto your serving plate.
  • To make the frosting, place the butter and cream cheese in a bowl; beat with a mixer for 3 minutes or until thoroughly combined. Add the sugar, vanilla, salt and milk and beat for an additional 3-5 minutes on high until frosting is light and fluffy.
  • Spread the frosting evenly over the brownie base and top with fresh fruit and mint sprigs if desired.
  • Cut into wedges and serve, or cover loosely chill for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes
