Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box gluten-free brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- Strawberries, sliced
- Mandarin oranges
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Optional: blackberries, kiwi, or other seasonal fruit
Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Prepare Mix: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the brownie mix according to the box instructions.
- Bake the Base: Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round baking dish or pizza pan. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool Completely: Allow the brownie base to cool completely before decorating.
- Prepare Topping: While cooling, thaw the Cool Whip and prepare your fruit (wash, dry, and slice as needed).
- Spread Cream: Spread an even layer of Cool Whip over the cooled brownie base, like a pizza sauce.
- Arrange Fruit: Arrange the fresh fruit evenly across the top, ensuring each slice gets a variety.
- Serve: Slice and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Cooling: The brownie base must be completely cool before adding the Cool Whip to prevent the topping from melting and sliding off.
- Fruit Dryness: Ensure all fresh fruit is washed and thoroughly dried. Excess moisture can make the Cool Whip watery and runny.
- Crust Alternatives: For a thinner crust, you can press the batter into a larger, 12-inch pizza pan, reducing the bake time slightly.
- Topping Swap: You can substitute Cool Whip with a homemade cream cheese frosting, mascarpone cream, or fresh sweetened whipped cream.
- Serving Fresh: This dessert is best served the same day it is made to ensure the fruit is fresh and the crust is still firm.
