Deep Dish Brownies

This Refinery29 Recipe Uses a Mini Cast Iron Pan to Create a Brownie Pizza

Brownies and pizzas are both known as two treats that never seem to fail as crowd-pleasers, but this brownie pizza recipe mashes them up in a way that’s even more irresistible.

The recipe from Refinery29 marks the beginning of National Brownie Month in the sweetest way possible with decadent ingredients like whipped cream cheese, miniature candy bars, caramel, shredded coconut, nuts and mini pretzels.

Just as a savory pizza is layered and prepared in a deep dish pan, this Chicaco-style interpretation of a brownie pizza has this dessert prepared in a small cast iron pan and sliced into pie-shaped slices for serving. The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity, since like a pizza, the toppings can be completely customized to fit any food favorites.
