Brownie Instructions

1. Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions. For a richer moist brownie, use milk instead of water.
2. Generously grease a 12 inch deep dish pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray including the walls and bottom.
3. Trace the bottom of the pizza pan onto a piece of parchment paper and cut out the circle.
4. Place the cut out circle inside the pizza pan and spray it again with cooking spray.
5. Pour the brownie batter into the pan and level it out. You can do this with a spatula or by tapping it on the counter.
6. Cook the brownies according to package instructions and cool for 2-3 hours.
7. After the brownie is completely cool, use a butter knife to loosen the edges of the brownie around the pan. Then flip the pan over onto a flat surface and give it a little tap around the base and it should pop right out. Then slowly peel the parchment paper off the bottom.

Frosting Instructions

1. While the brownie cools, in a medium bowl cream butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Note, the butter needs to be room temperature for this to work correctly. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer.
2. Add in powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, and cream cheese. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
3. When the brownie is completely cool, scoop a generous amount of icing onto each fourth of the circle. Using a rubber spatula spread in an even layer around the brownie. If you spread it too thin the brownie will flake off into the icing and become dirty looking.
4. If making ahead of time, store in the fridge in an airtight container. Remove from fridge a half hour before icing the brownie so the frosting is at room temperature.

Decorating Instructions

1. Wash the fruit and dry it completely. If the fruit is wet it will mess up the icing and the colors may bleed.
2. Cut the green tops off the strawberries and quarter them.
3. Place the strawberries and blueberries around the edge of the brownie in an alternating pattern.
4. Using a star cookie cutter, place it in the center of the pizza and lightly press on it to make a slight indent in the icing. This will be your guide to make the blueberry star in the middle. Place the blueberries along the lines of the star you created with the cookie cutter.
5. Fill in the star shape with additional blueberries.
6. Add some more blueberries on the inside edge of the strawberries.
