Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Crust:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk (if needed for consistency)

For Toppings:

2 cups assorted fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, banana slices, and mandarin oranges)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Optional: A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce

Instructions
 

Prepare the Brownie Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-inch round pizza pan or line it with parchment paper.

      - In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar, whisking until smooth.

        - Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

          - In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.

            - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

              - Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pizza pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely.

                Make the Cream Cheese Frosting:

                  - In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until creamy and smooth.

                    - Add the vanilla and mix well.

                      - Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.

                        Assemble the Fruit Pizza:

                          - Once the brownie crust has completely cooled, spread an even layer of cream cheese frosting over the top.

                            - Arrange the assorted fresh fruits beautifully over the frosting, creating a colorful design. Get creative with the arrangement!

                              - If desired, drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce over the top for extra sweetness and flair.

                                Garnish and Serve:

                                  - Garnish the fruit pizza with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

                                    - Slice into wedges and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
