Ingredients

  • ¾ cup salted, butter, melted
  • ¾ cup unsweetened Dutch processed cocoa
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsps pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup salted butter, softened
  • ½ cup unsweetened Dutch processed cocoa
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Line a pizza pan with parchment paper and clip the edges with binder clips so the batter doesn’t slip as you mold it to the pan. 
  • To make the brownies:  Combine melted butter and cocoa powder in a medium sized bowl. With a standing mixer or by hand, mix until incorporated. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Add flour, and mix until fully combined.
  • Pour batter onto prepared pan and gently mold into a flat circle, stopping about 2-3 inches from the edge. Remove binder clips and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for ten minutes. You may pop it into the refrigerator to speed cooling time.
  • To make the frosting:  Combine all ingredients and beat for about 30 seconds, or until smooth and lump free. Spread on to completely cooled brownie pizza.
  • Top with fresh fruit, nuts, crushed Oreos, or whipped cream + caramel.  Serves 12-16. Store coveted at room temperature for up to three days.  Enjoy!
