A delightful dessert combining a slightly cakey brownie base topped with a creamy mascarpone layer and fresh vibrant fruit for a perfect balance of rich chocolate and fresh brightness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅓ cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (120 g) mascarpone cheese
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp fresh lemon zest
  • 1 cup (about 150 g) sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup (about 150 g) peeled and sliced kiwi
  • ½ cup (75 g) blueberries
  • ½ cup (80 g) diced mango (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves, a few torn for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your pizza pan or baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and shiny.
  4. Slowly fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients with a spatula just until combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top to about ½ inch (1.5 cm) thickness.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  7. Cool the brownie completely in the pan for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
  8. While cooling, whisk together mascarpone, honey, and lemon zest until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  9. Spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the cooled brownie, leaving about ¼ inch (0.5 cm) border around the edges.
  10. Arrange the sliced strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, and optional mango artistically over the creamy layer.
  11. Garnish with torn fresh mint leaves.
  12. Serve immediately or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let flavors meld; bring to room temperature before serving if chilled.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency. Cool the brownie completely before adding the creamy layer to prevent melting. Pat dry juicy fruits like mango or strawberries to avoid sogginess. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour. For dairy-free, replace mascarpone with whipped coconut cream sweetened with maple syrup. Chill the pizza before slicing for cleaner cuts.
