Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. If you prefer a healthier option, you can substitute Greek yogurt for cream cheese. Also, feel free to mix and match toppings based on your preferences; berries, nuts, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce can elevate this dish. Always check for allergens if serving to children.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the brownie pizza chilled or at room temperature. It makes for a delightful dessert at birthday parties or playdates. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of Daffodil Lemon Sauce for an added zing. This dessert can also be a fun project for kids, allowing them to customize their own toppings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover brownie pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To enjoy it warm, simply reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes. This way, the chocolate chips will get melty again.
