I keep coming back to this recipe because it’s easy, impressive, and incredibly satisfying. The brownie base stays rich and dense, the cream cheese layer adds a smooth contrast, and the Oreo topping brings texture and nostalgia. I also like how it slices just like a pizza, making it ideal for parties and gatherings.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 box fudgy brownie mix 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 8 oz cream cheese, softened 3/4 cup powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 12 Oreo cookies, crushed 1/4 cup chocolate sauce or ganache 1/2 cup whipped cream or frosting, optional 2 tablespoons cookie crumble or crushed graham crackers, optional
Directions
I begin by preheating the oven according to the brownie mix instructions. I grease a 12-inch pizza pan and prepare the brownie batter as directed, spreading it evenly into the pan.
I bake the brownie until the edges are set but the center is still slightly fudgy. Once baked, I let it cool completely before adding any toppings.
In a mixing bowl, I beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. I spread this mixture evenly over the cooled brownie base.
I sprinkle the crushed Oreos over the top and gently press them in so they stick. I drizzle chocolate sauce or ganache over everything, then add whipped cream or frosting and cookie crumble if I’m using them.
I refrigerate the brownie pizza for at least one hour before slicing and serving.
Servings and Timing
I slice this dessert into about 10 servings. Prep time takes around 20 minutes. Cook time is about 30 minutes. Chilling time is approximately 1 hour. Total time comes to about 1 hour and 50 minutes.
Variations
I sometimes use chocolate brownie mix instead of fudgy for a firmer base. When I want extra richness, I add mini chocolate chips on top of the cream cheese layer. I also enjoy swapping Oreos for other sandwich cookies to change the flavor.
Storage / Reheating
I store leftover slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I serve them chilled and don’t reheat, since the creamy topping is best cold.
FAQs
Why does the brownie need to cool completely?
I always let it cool so the cream cheese layer doesn’t melt and slide off.
Can I make this ahead of time?
I often make it the night before and keep it refrigerated until serving.
How do I get clean slices?
I chill the pizza well and use a sharp knife, wiping it between cuts.
Can I freeze brownie pizza?
I freeze the plain brownie base, then thaw and decorate it fresh.
Is whipped cream necessary?
I find it optional, but it adds extra indulgence when I want a more decadent finish.
Conclusion
This Oreo fudge brownie pizza is one of my favorite crowd-pleasing desserts. I love how it combines rich chocolate, creamy topping, and crunchy cookies into a fun treat that’s easy to slice, share, and enjoy.
