Brownie and Fruit Pizza Dessert Recipe

Now that we have our new deck, it will mean more summer entertaining, parties and BBQs, yippee!  We have our regular go-to dishes and desserts but I also wanted to add some new meal and dessert recipes to choose from! This is truly one of our most favourite, simple and delicious desserts and will absolutely be serving this during the summer! 

This brownie and fruit pizza dessert is not only simple, but fun to make with the kids! Jayden and Zack's Godmother came over with the ingredients to make this delicious kid- and adult-friendly summer treat!  The kids loved to help cut the fruit and ultimately decorate the brownie "pizza" any way they wanted to! The best part will be enjoying this together on our new deck on a warm summer night or taking it to a pot luck bbq!

Enjoy!


Ingredients:
Brownie Mix (we chose a low fat mix)
Cream Cheese brick (we chose light variety, keep at room temperature before baking)
3/4 cup of sugar (or Splenda to keep it low sugar)
Fruit- strawberries, grapes, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi, bananas, etc.
 
Directions:
1.  Make the brownie according to directions on the box and bake in a round pizza baking sheet.  Bake and let it cool before creating your pizza.
2.  Mix 3/4 of a brick of cream cheese with 3/4 cup of sugar until creamy.  Set aside.
3.  Get the kids to wash and help cut the fruit.  Leave blueberries and raspberries whole.  Cut strawberries, kiwis and bananas into thin slices and grapes in half.
4.  When brownie has cooled, gently spread the cream cheese and sugar mixture across the top for a thin layer.
5.  Let the kids decorate the top of the pizza by making shapes, strawberry flowers, writing their initials in blueberries or any abstract design (you can add in some summer math practice too)!

Be prepared for some "quality assurance" when you kids eat the fruits while they decorate!
