1 box brownie mix
water, egg, and oil as called for in brownie mix directions
8 ounces softened cream cheese

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
2 cups fresh blueberries

Prepare the brownie mix according to the directions.  Spread in pizza pan.
Bake 26 to 30 minutes.  A toothpick inserted in the center should come out almost clean.  Cool completely.

In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla.  Mix until smooth.  Spread mixture over cooled brownie crust.  Arrange berries over crust.  Microwave the strawberry jam 15 to 30 seconds until it begins to liquify.  Stir until smooth.  Brush liquid jam over berries.  

Refrigerate 1 hour or until chilled.  Drizzle chocolate syrup/melted chocolate over the top of the pizza.  Cut into wedges and serve.  Store covered in the refrigerator.





Substitutions:

Substitute 1 package refrigerated cookie dough for the brownie mix.  Roll the dough out flat into a pizza shape.  Place in pizza pan and follow remainder of the recipe as directed.  


Substitute the fruit of your choice for the strawberries and blueberries.  Bananas, mangos, kiwi, raspberries, etc work well.


Substitute Philadelphia Indulgence White, Milk, or Dark Chocolate for the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla mixture.  OR substitute mascarpone cheese for the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla mixture.

Any flavor fruit jam or jelly can be used in place of strawberry jam.
