Red White and Blue Brownie Pizza – the perfect dessert for your 4th of July celebration. A delicious brownie crust topped with a cream cheese frosting and loaded with berries!

Red White And Blue Brownie Pizza

Yes, I know I’m Canadian, but I worked in the states for 10 years, so celebrating the 4th of July is a habit that has stuck! This year I’ve really been missing the giant firework displays in my old city so I thought I’d bring some of that same pizzazz to this oh so patriotic dessert. I wanted to make a brownie pizza that’s a tribute to those bursts of color on that night time sky, piled high on a ‘pizza’. Pretty American, eh?

What Is A Brownie Pizza?

A brownie pizza is a fruit pizza with a brownie crust, super simple right? The last fruit pizza I made was really successful at my house, there’s just something about cream cheese icing and fresh fruit. I have to say though that the brownie crust is my all time favorite; it’s chewy, it’s chocolaty, it’s just oh so yummy.

Ingredients In Red White And Blue Brownie Pizza

Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on my printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

Brownie crust
  • Brownie mix – If you want to make your own brownie mix then by all means please do, but I love my shortcuts and store bought turns out just fine for me. If gluten free brownie mix is available that will work as well.
  • Liquids – Just water and a light, flavorless oil (I like canola) are all that are needed.
  • Egg – Just one is needed to bind our batter if using boxed mix.
Cream cheese icing
  • Cream cheese – I use full fat in this recipe but reduced fat cream cheese can be substituted to cut calories.
  • Sugar – Granulated table sugar is best for this icing.
  • Vanilla extract – This icing recipe can fall a bit flat without vanilla, I used just plain Jane extract.
Toppings
  • Fruit – We want blueberries and strawberries, arranged in your best imitation of the flag. Usually I recommend substitutions for fruit but we want that classic red white and blue! Raspberries are in season throughout the US in July so feel free to sprinkle those on as well.

How To Make Red White And Blue Brownie Pizza

Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on my printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

  • Prepare your oven: Preheat oven to 350 F degrees and prepare a large cooking pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Make the batter: Add brownie ingredients to a mixer and mix until the batter is smooth. Spread the brownie mix over the pan and cook for 20 minutes. Take out and allow to cool immediately.
  • Prepare the icing: In your (clean) mixer add the icing ingredients and mix till smooth.
  • Assemble the pizza: Spread the icing over the cooled brownie crust using a rubber spatula. Arrange berries over top and serve immediately.

Storing The Brownie Pizza

Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days if wrapped in plastic or sealed in an airtight container. The cream cheese icing will also last this long in the fridge, or up to 3 months in the freezer.

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Prepare a pizza pan or a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • In your mixer add all the brownie ingredients and and mix just until everything is well blended. Spread the brownie mix over the parchment paper to form a circle that's about 14 inches in diameter. Bake for 20 minutes. Let it cool completely.

  • Using a spatula spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the brownie crust.
  • Arrange berries over the cream cheese mixture.

Great recipe! I made this for the 4th of July. My only complaint was that the wax paper stuck to the bottom. It was difficult to peel off!

Hi Jo, this was easy as pie (haha). The only slightly tough part is the placement of the “stars and stripes” but it came out exactly as in your photo. Took it to my son’s July 4th BBQ and it was seriously the culinary hit of the whole party. It looks great and tastes delicious. Wow wow wow. I’m not much of a baker but I stole the show thanks to you! Would love to post the my photo but couldn’t figure out how to do that.

I made this for the fourth of July, and it tasted even better than it looked! I highly recommend this recipe. The brownie was quite runny and spilled a little bit off the cookie tray; next time I’ll use something with a small rim.

I know I’m late to the party, but is the brownie crust sturdy enough that you can eat this like a pizza? Or will it bend under the weight of the fruit?

You could I suppose just make a regular frosting, or even just whipped cream.
