Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "Brownie Pizza with homemade buttercream and Fruit - a family fave ๐Ÿ˜‹ INGREDIENTS: For the Brownie Base - ยพ cup (170โ€ฏg) butter, softened - 1 cup (200โ€ฏg) sugar - 1 large egg - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 1ยฝ cups (190โ€ฏg) plain flour - ยผ cup (25โ€ฏg) unsweetened cocoa powder - ยฝ tsp baking powder - ยผ tsp salt For the Buttercream - ยฝ cup (115โ€ฏg) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature - 2 cups (250โ€ฏg) icing sugar, sifted - 2 tbsp whole milk (plus a splash more if needed) - 1 tsp vanilla extract - Pinch of salt (optional โ€” 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 175โ€ฏยฐC (350โ€ฏยฐF). Grease or line a 14โ€‘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 15โ€“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 mediumโ€‘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 2โ€“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."

On a waxed paper-lined tin, spread out your biscuit mix and push down til it's firm with back of a spoon and smooth. 4. Put your chocolate in a glass bowl and place in microwave. Microwave for 40 seconds. Stir chocolate with rubber spatula. Place back in microwave and cook on high for 20 seconds. Stir. Continue microwaving for 20 seconds and stirring until chocolate is fully melted. Alternatively, you can melt chocolate over a double broiler - whichever is easiest. 5. When chocolate is melted, pour over the crushed biscuits and spread on an even layer. 6. Decorate accordingly on the melted chocolate! 7. Let biscuit bark set for about an hour before breaking into pieces. If you want it ready faster, place in fridge for about 30 minutes. Store bark in an airtight container for up to two weeks (if it lasts that long!)."
