Brownie Fruit Pizza (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Brownie Crust

01 - 1 box (18-ounce) brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
02 - Cooking spray or parchment paper

→ For the Cream Cheese Frosting

03 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
04 - ½ cup powdered sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ For Topping

06 - Assorted fresh fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, and grapes, washed and sliced
07 - ¼ cup apricot preserves or fruit jelly, melted (optional, for glaze)
08 - Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix box. Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions. Line a round pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with cooking spray. Spread the brownie batter evenly onto the prepared pan, creating a round or rectangular shape, depending on your preference.
02 - Bake the brownie crust in the preheated oven according to the package instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
03 - In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined and fluffy. Set aside.
04 - Once the brownie crust has cooled completely, spread the prepared cream cheese frosting evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
05 - Decoratively arrange the sliced fresh fruits on top of the cream cheese frosting, covering the entire surface of the pizza.
06 - If desired, brush the melted apricot preserves or fruit jelly over the arranged fruits to add shine and preserve their freshness.
07 - Refrigerate the brownie fruit pizza for at least 1 hour to allow the frosting to set and the flavors to meld. Before serving, garnish with mint leaves if desired. Slice into wedges or squares and serve chilled.

# Notes:

01 - You can use store-bought brownie mix or your favorite homemade brownie recipe for the crust.
02 - Be creative with your fruit selection and arrangement to create a visually stunning and colorful pizza.
03 - If you prefer a lighter frosting, you can use whipped cream or Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese frosting.
