Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "Brownie Pizza with homemade buttercream and Fruit - a family fave 😋 INGREDIENTS: For the Brownie Base - ¾ cup (170 g) butter, softened - 1 cup (200 g) sugar - 1 large egg - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 1½ cups (190 g) plain flour - ¼ cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder - ½ tsp baking powder - ¼ tsp salt For the Buttercream - ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature - 2 cups (250 g) icing sugar, sifted - 2 tbsp whole milk (plus a splash more if needed) - 1 tsp vanilla extract - Pinch of salt (optional — brings out the sweetness) For the Topping - Fresh strawberries sliced - Bananas, sliced - Red and green grapes, halved - Any fruit to your fancy really! METHOD: 1. Prep and bake the brownie base! - Heat oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Grease or line a 14‑inch pizza pan. - Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. - In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. - Gradually fold dry mix into wet until combined. - Spread into the pizza pan, leaving a small gap at the edges. - Bake 15–20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. - Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. 2. Make the buttercream - Beat butter on medium‑high until creamy and slightly paler (about 2 minutes). - Add sifted icing sugar in two batches, mixing on low to avoid sugar clouds. - Add vanilla and milk, then beat on high for 2–3 minutes until fluffy and spreadable. - If too thick, add a tiny splash more milk; if too soft, add a spoonful of icing sugar. 3. Assemble your brownie pizza! - Spread buttercream over the cooled brownie base - no need for perfection! - Scatter fruit generously, letting the colours and shapes overlap. - Slice into wedges and serve immediately for the freshest look or refrigerate if making ahead. Extra thoughts: - Use very ripe strawberries and grapes for gloss and flavour; bananas not so much or they'll brown fast! - Try a pinch of lemon zest in the buttercream for a brightness that pops against the chocolate."
