Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup (115 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream
- Mini marshmallows
- Crushed cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- Chocolate chips or chunks
- Chopped nuts
- Sprinkles
- Fresh strawberries or raspberries
Instructions
- Preparation: Ignite the oven to 350F (175C), artfully line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper, and lightly anoint with grease.
- Batter Creation: Whisk melted butter and sugar into a silky emulsion, then incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture achieves a harmonious, glossy texture.
- Ingredient Fusion: Tenderly fold cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder into the liquid base, using gentle motions to marry dry and wet ingredients without compromising the batter’s delicate structure.
- Pan Layering: Elegantly spread the brownie mixture across the prepared pan, sculpting an even landscape that promises a uniform chocolate terrain.
- Baking Ritual: Nestle the pan into the preheated oven, allowing the chocolate canvas to transform for 18-22 minutes until the edges crisp and the center maintains a luscious, fudgy heart.
- Cooling Interlude: Rescue the chocolate pizza from the oven’s embrace, transferring to a wire rack where it can rest and develop its rich, intense flavor profile.
Notes
- Prevent Overbaking: Watch carefully during the last 5 minutes to maintain the fudgy texture; an extra minute can transform the dessert from luscious to dry.
- Customize Toppings: Experiment with various chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or marshmallow drizzles to elevate the dessert’s visual appeal and flavor complexity.
- Control Moisture Balance: Use room temperature eggs and avoid overmixing to ensure a tender, moist chocolate base that doesn’t become tough or dense.
- Optimize Cooling Process: Let the chocolate pizza cool entirely at room temperature to allow the flavors to develop and the texture to stabilize before cutting or serving.
