Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted (2 sticks)
- 2 cups regular sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup colorful M&M's, plus extra for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F. Grab a 12-inch pizza pan and either grease it well or line with parchment for easy removal later.
- In a big bowl, stir together the melted butter and sugar until it looks glossy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Pour in the vanilla and give it another good stir.
- Whisk flour and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually add to your wet mixture. Stir just until combined – don't overmix!
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and 1 cup of M&M's with a spatula. The batter will be thick and colorful.
- Spread the batter evenly in your pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. You'll know it's done when the edges turn golden and a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let it cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, sprinkle extra M&M's on top, slice into wedges like a pizza, and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- For a minty twist, add 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the white chocolate topping
- Try dark or milk chocolate drizzled over the white chocolate for a beautiful marbled effect
- Add a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the brownie batter for a mocha flavor
- For extra decadence, sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the white chocolate layer
- Make individual brownie pizzas by baking in 4-inch round pans and decorating separately
- If you prefer a chewier brownie base, reduce the baking time by 3-5 minutes
Serving Suggestions
Serve this White Chocolate Brownie Pizza with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for the ultimate dessert experience. The contrast between the warm or room-temperature brownie and cold ice cream creates a delightful temperature play that enhances all the flavors.
For a special occasion, consider adding a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce over each slice just before serving, and don’t forget a sprinkle of powdered sugar for that pizzeria-inspired finishing touch!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
- The brownie base should be fudgy but not raw – a toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs
- Allow the white chocolate to set completely before cutting for the cleanest slices
- For best results, use a pizza cutter to slice through the dessert pizza
FAQs
Can I make this brownie pizza ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare this dessert up to 2 days in advance. Store in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature about 30 minutes before serving.
Can I use a brownie mix instead of making it from scratch?
Absolutely! A boxed brownie mix works great as a time-saving alternative. Just prepare according to package directions and bake in a round pizza pan.
What if I don’t have a pizza pan?
A regular round cake pan works well, or you can form the brownie into a circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Can I freeze this dessert?
Yes, you can freeze the brownie base before adding the white chocolate topping. Once topped, it’s best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated rather than frozen.
