Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 box (18.3 ounces / 518 grams) fudge brownie mix
- 2 large eggs
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
- 2 cups fresh mixed berries
- ¼ cup (60 ml) chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- ¼ cup (60 ml) water
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F and coat a 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray for easy release.
- Mix the brownie batter by combining the entire box of mix with ½ cup vegetable oil, ¼ cup water, and 2 large eggs until smooth and well-blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface, creating a uniform brownie base.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick that should emerge with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the brownie base and let it cool completely on a wire rack, which prevents soggy edges and ensures a crisp foundation.
- Whip the cream cheese mixture by blending 8 ounces softened cream cheese with ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until completely smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture across the cooled brownie base, creating a thin, even layer that reaches the edges.
- Wash and slice your mixed berries, then artfully arrange 2 cups of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries over the cream cheese layer.
- Melt ¼ cup chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until glossy and liquid.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the fruit using a spoon or squeeze bottle for an elegant finish.
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 30 minutes to set the layers and enhance the flavors before serving.
Notes
- Cool the brownie base completely before adding cream cheese layer, or it will melt and become runny.
- Choose ripe, firm berries that are not too soft to maintain the best texture and prevent soggy spots.
- Melt chocolate slowly and carefully to prevent burning, stirring between each microwave interval.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the brownie mix with a gluten-free alternative and check ingredient compatibility.
