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