FAQs
Can I use homemade brownie batter?
Absolutely! Feel free to use your favorite homemade brownie recipe instead of a boxed mix.
What size pan should I use?
A standard 12-inch pizza pan works best, but any round baking dish will do. Just adjust baking time as needed.
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can bake the brownie and prepare the frosting ahead of time, but add the fruit just before serving for the best texture and freshness.
Can I use whipped topping instead of cream cheese?
Yes, whipped topping can be used for a lighter version of the frosting, but it won’t have the same tangy richness.
How do I keep the fruit from sliding off?
Make sure the brownie is completely cool and that the cream cheese frosting is evenly spread. Press the fruit slightly into the frosting to help it stay in place.
Is this dessert very sweet?
It has a balanced sweetness from the brownie and fruit. You can reduce the powdered sugar in the frosting if you prefer a less sweet version.
Can I use frozen fruit?
Fresh fruit is best for appearance and texture, but thawed and well-drained frozen fruit can be used in a pinch.
What other frostings can I use?
Try mascarpone, ricotta with honey, or a mix of Greek yogurt and cream cheese for different flavor profiles.
Can this be made gluten-free?
Yes! Use a gluten-free brownie mix and ensure your other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
Can I add nuts?
Absolutely—chopped walnuts or pecans sprinkled on top add a nice crunch and extra flavor.
