# Deep Dish Brownies This Refinery29 Recipe Uses a Mini Cast Iron Pan to Create a Brownie Pizza By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-08-03 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brownie-pizza References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/easy-brownie-recipes) Brownies and pizzas are both known as two treats that never seem to fail as crowd-pleasers, but this [brownie pizza recipe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-cookie) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snickers-pizookie), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-cream-skillet-cookie) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Customized Dessert:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop an online platform that allows customers to create and customize their own unique dessert recipes. - **Miniature Food:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of miniature food products that appeal to the growing trend of bite-sized indulgences. - **Unique Flavors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with unconventional flavor combinations to create unique and unexpected dessert experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food Delivery:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a specialized food delivery service that focuses on delivering customized desserts to customers' doorsteps. - **Gourmet Grocery:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Curate a section within gourmet grocery stores that offers a wide variety of miniature food products, including desserts like brownie pizzas. - **Food Tech:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invest in food tech startups that specialize in creating innovative and unique dessert flavors using cutting-edge techniques and ingredients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Loaded Single-Serve Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-sink-brownie.md) - [Candy Bar-Topped Dessert Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-caesars-cookie-dough-brownie.md) - [Viral Mashup Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bisco-dubai-chocolate-brownie.md) - [Fudge-Stuffed Dessert Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuffed-crust-pizzert.md) - [Ready-to-Bake Cookie Skillets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-to-bake-cookie-skillet.md) - [Rich Brownie-Packed Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-brookie.md) - [Fudgy Cherry-Flavored Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-red-velvet-brownie.md) - [Chocolate-Stuffed Pizza Crusts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-chip-pizzert.md) - [Ready-to-Bake Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicago-town-desserts.md)
