How To Make A Brownie Pizza With Peanut Butter Frosting (Printable Recipe Card)

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 12-inch or 14-inch round pizza pan with nonstick spray, or line with parchment paper.

Make The Brownie Pizza : In a large mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the fudge brownie mix, large eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and thoroughly combined.

Spread the brownie batter evenly into the pizza pan, making sure it reaches the edges of the pan.

Bake for 22-25 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should out clean with crumbs and no wet batter.

Remove the brownie pizza from the oven and allow it cool completely, on a wire cooling rack, before continuing.

Make The Whipped Peanut Butter Frosting : In a mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, or use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and peanut butter until creamy, whipped, and lighter in color. About 1-2 minutes.

Add in the powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract and continue beating until the frosting is thick, fluffy, and thoroughly combined. If needed, add an extra 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream to get a smooth, spreadable frosting.

Once the brownie base is completely cooled, spread the peanut butter frosting in an even layer over top.

Toppings & Serve : Sprinkle the halved Reeses peanut butter cups and Reese’s Pieces on top of the frosting.

Melt the chocolate almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the brownie pizza using a spoon or a Ziplock bag with the bottom corner cut.

Allow the chocolate drizzle to harden and set for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Substitutions & Ingredient Notes

• Brownie Mix : Stick with a classic chocolate brownie mix; dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or chocolate fudge. Avoid the brownie mixes that have any add-ins, chocolate chips, or sauce.
• Milk : I recommend using whole milk as the extra fat in whole milk gives the brownie crust a more rich, bakery-style texture compared to water or a lower-fat milk.
• Butter : I prefer using salted butter when baking because it offers a better balance to all the sweetness. However, unsalted butter works just as well, either just use unsalted butter or you can add a pinch of salt along with it to make up for the lack of salt in the butter. About 1/8 or 1/4 sea salt, so just a pinch.
• Heavy Whipping Cream : No substitutes! This is the only thing that will help the frosting be fluffy whipped, with a airy and light texture.
• Chocolate Almond Bark : Other great substitutes are chocolate melting wafers, chocolate baking bar, chocolate candy melts, or the almond bark. All of these options melt beautifully in the microwave so I suggest using one of them listed. I like using the Ghirardelli brand of chocolate melting wafers. Two ounces is about 1/4 cup, so using a similar amount if using something besides almond bark.

How To Store A Brownie Dessert Pizza With Frosting

Cover the leftover pizza with plastic wrap, or remove the leftover slices to an airtight container, and store at room temperature for up to 2 days; or you can store it in the fridge for a chilled treat.

The pizza will have a softer texture if stored at room temperature, and the pizza will have a firmer more chilled texture if stored in the fridge. Do whichever you prefer; I prefer the frosting chilled, so I store the leftovers in the fridge. Either eat leftovers cold from the fridge, or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften.

Pro Tips From The Test Kitchen

• Make sure you are using a 12-inch or 14-inch round pizza pan with a rimmed edge. Don’t use a flat pizza pan as obviously, the brownie crust will run right off when baking.
• This is great to make ahead! Prepare and bake the brownie pizza crust, let it cool, and then cover it tightly, and store at room temperature for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, frost the pizza and add the toppings.
• Get creative with the pizza toppings. Anything chocolate + peanut butter would work well as toppings. Try a variety of Reese’s peanut butter cups, or you could use chopped peanut butter Oreo cookies, or NutterButters, etc.
