Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh fruits (strawberries, blueberries, bananas)
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large round pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and Nutella together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully combined.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended and slightly frothy.
- Gradually pour the melted Nutella and butter mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously to create a uniform batter.
- Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into the wet ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender brownie base.
- Spread the batter evenly across the prepared pan, creating a circular shape resembling a pizza crust, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let the brownie base cool completely at room temperature, approximately 30-40 minutes.
- Once cooled, wash and slice the fresh fruits into decorative pieces.
- Arrange the sliced fruits artfully across the brownie base, covering the surface like a pizza.
- Optional: Pipe or dollop whipped cream between fruit sections for added decoration and flavor.
- Slice into wedges and serve immediately, enjoying the rich chocolate base with fresh, vibrant fruits.
Tips
- Choose Your Fruits Wisely: While strawberries, blueberries, and bananas are great options, feel free to experiment with seasonal fruits like kiwi, peaches, or raspberries for a unique twist.
- Don’t Overmix the Batter: To ensure a tender brownie base, mix the batter just until the flour is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a denser texture.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your brownie as it bakes. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
- Cool Completely: Allow the brownie base to cool completely before adding the fruit. This prevents the fruits from wilting and helps maintain their vibrant colors.
- Whipped Cream Decoration: If using whipped cream, pipe it in between the fruit slices for a beautiful presentation. It adds a creamy element that complements the chocolate and fruit.
- Serve Fresh: For the best taste and texture, serve the Nutella Brownie Fruit Pizza immediately after assembling. This ensures the brownie stays soft and the fruits remain fresh.
