A rich and soothing dessert combining a fudgy brownie base, silky chocolate ganache, and fresh fruit topping for a perfect balance of indulgence and freshness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (90g) all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) heavy cream
  • ½ cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter, softened (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • 1 large kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained)
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch pan lightly with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until combined. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients with a rubber spatula until no flour streaks remain. Batter should be thick and fudgy.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are set but center has a slight wobble. Avoid overbaking to keep fudgy texture.
  7. Cool completely on a rack before adding toppings.
  8. Heat heavy cream gently in a small saucepan until just simmering; do not boil. Pour over chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and let sit 1-2 minutes.
  9. Stir ganache gently until smooth and glossy. Stir in softened butter for extra shine if desired.
  10. Spread ganache evenly over cooled brownie base. Let set slightly at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  11. Arrange sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, and mandarin segments over ganache in a pattern or scatter casually.
  12. Optionally garnish with fresh mint leaves.
  13. Chill the fruit pizza for 30 minutes before serving to firm ganache slightly for clean slicing.

Notes

Do not overbake the brownie to keep it fudgy. Use quality chocolate for ganache. Heat cream gently to avoid grainy ganache. Use ripe but firm fruit and dry thoroughly to prevent sogginess. Let ganache set slightly before adding fruit and chilling. If ganache firms too much, let pizza sit at room temperature before slicing.
