Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box fudge brownie mix (8-inch square pan size)
- 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1 cup whipped topping (thawed)
Wet and Binding Ingredients:
- Ingredients from brownie mix package (water, oil, egg)
- 1/2 cup cold milk
Garnish and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 package (3.4 ounces / 96 grams) instant vanilla pudding mix
- Chocolate syrup (for drizzle)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Craft a perfectly textured brownie base by following package mix guidelines, ensuring precise oven temperature and thorough mixing of ingredients for a smooth, even consistency.
- Pour the prepared batter into a circular pan, creating a uniform layer that will serve as the foundation of the dessert pizza.
- Allow the brownie to bake completely, then set aside to cool entirely, maintaining its structural integrity for subsequent layering.
- Whisk cold milk and vanilla pudding mix vigorously until the mixture transforms into a thick, creamy consistency with no lumps.
- Gently incorporate whipped topping into the pudding, creating a light, airy texture that will serve as a delectable cream layer.
- Distribute the pudding mixture across the cooled brownie surface, carefully leaving a small margin to mimic a traditional pizza’s crust aesthetic.
- Artfully arrange a vibrant medley of fresh berries – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries – atop the creamy pudding layer for color and flavor contrast.
- Enhance the dessert by drizzling rich chocolate syrup in elegant zigzag patterns and sprinkling chopped pecans for added textural complexity.
- Refrigerate the assembled creation for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and the dessert to set firmly.
- Slice into wedge-shaped portions and serve chilled, presenting a delightful fusion of brownie, cream, fruit, and nutty elements.
Notes
- Customize the brownie mix by using gluten-free or dairy-free alternatives for individuals with dietary restrictions.
- Swap out instant pudding for a homemade custard or Greek yogurt to reduce processed ingredients and enhance nutritional value.
- Select seasonal berries for maximum freshness and vibrant flavor, ensuring each slice bursts with natural sweetness.
- Toast the pecans briefly before chopping to intensify their nutty flavor and create a deeper, more complex taste profile.
