In Laverne, Oklahoma, Nancy Johnson starts with a basic brownie mix to create this luscious treat that's sure to impress company. Sometimes I add mandarin oranges for even more color, Nancy notes. Ingredients:
1 package fudge brownie mix (8-inch square pan size) |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/3 cup sugar |
3/4 cup pineapple tidbits with juice |
1 small firm banana, sliced |
1 medium kiwifruit, peeled and sliced |
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries |
1/4 cup chopped pecans |
1 ounce semisweet chocolate |
1 tablespoon butter |
Directions:
1. Prepare brownie batter according to package directions. Spread onto a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Spread over brownie crust. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Toss banana slices with juice; drain well. Arrange the banana, kiwi, strawberries and pineapple over cream cheese layer; sprinkle with pecans.
3. In a small microwave, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Drizzle over fruit. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Yield: 12-14 servings.
