This berry brownie pizza is flourless, topped with raspberry flavored whipped coconut cream and fresh berries. It’s a fun and delicious way to enjoy dessert!
Anyone who knows me well knows how much I love pizza. I don’t know why I love it as much as I do, especially because I have a sensitivity to both dairy and gluten 😳 but I still indulge in good pizza every once in a while. But since I can’t have the gluten and dairy laden pizza often, I’ve been enjoying my dessert pizzas!
There are so many recipes out there for dessert pizzas, but most of them are made with boxed brownies or prepackaged sugar cookie dough and while you can use those if you need to, this homemade brownie is super easy to throw together and is free of gluten, grain, and dairy! It’s also sooo deliciously fudgy and just the perfect brownie in my opinion 🙂
The topping is cold coconut cream—the creamy part of the coconut milk which easily separates from the liquid when refrigerated—whipped together with ground, freeze-dried raspberries. It’s what gives it that pretty pale pink color, but you can choose to omit the raspberries and just use plain whipped coconut cream on the pizza.
The coconut cream is then topped with a mixture of delicious berries and, if you like, some edible flowers and sprigs of mint! This is a delicious and simple dessert, although I dare say it is sure to impress your friends and family!

- 2 cups semi sweet or dark chocolate chips, separated (I like Enjoy Life
brand for dairy-free)
- ½ cup coconut oil
or butter, plus extra for greasing pan
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coconut sugar
or pure cane sugar
- 3 eggs (vegan friendly version here.)
- ⅓ cup arrowroot starch
or Corn Starch
- 1 cup of cold coconut cream,* about 1-2 cans full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream
, refrigerated overnight OR 12 oz regular or dairy-free cream cheese.*(if using cream cheese, may need to add a splash of milk of choice to thin.)
- 2–3 tablespoons honey, sugar, or other sweetener of choice
- ⅓ – ½ cup freeze-dried raspberries
, optional (omit to keep topping white)
- 3 cups mixed berries (I used strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries)
- edible flowers and mint for decorating, optional
brand for dairy-free)
or butter, plus extra for greasing pan
or pure cane sugar
or Corn Starch
, refrigerated overnight OR 12 oz regular or dairy-free cream cheese.*(if using cream cheese, may need to add a splash of milk of choice to thin.)
, optional (omit to keep topping white)- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 10 or 12-inch cake pan, line with a round piece of parchment paper (to fit the bottom) and set aside.
- Combine 1½ cup of the chocolate chips, coconut oil/butter, and salt in a medium saucepan and place on the stove over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until chocolate is melted. Turn off the heat and stir in sugar until dissolved. Let the mixture cool down some before adding the eggs. Whisk in eggs and mix thoroughly. The mixture should begin to thicken and become semi-gelatinous. Stir in arrowroot/cornstarch and remaining ½ cup chocolate chips. At this point batter should be really thick.
- Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly across the pan. Place into the preheated oven and bake for 16 to 20 minutes or just until the center is set. Careful not over-bake. Let cool completely before removing the brownie from the pan. I flip it out onto a cutting board so I can remove the parchment paper (if it's stuck to the bottom of the brownie) and then invert it onto my serving plate.
- *You can also use 12oz of regular/dairy-free cream cheese or mascarpone cheese instead of the coconut cream. Beat together with the honey (or other sweetener) and 1-2 tablespoons of milk, just enough to make creamy and spreadable.
- If using the freeze-dried raspberries, grind them in a food processor or place into a plastic baggie (make sure all the air has been squeezed out) and mash with a meat mallet or wooden spoon until it becomes a powder. For a smooth cream, sift powder through a sieve to remove seeds and large chunks.
- Remove the cold, hardened cream from the coconut milk can and discard the liquid (or use in a smoothie!)
- Place into a mixing bowl and beat the cream until fluffy. Add the honey (or other sweeter of choice) and raspberry powder, if using and continue to beat until creamy.
- Spread the cream onto the brownie crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Top with fresh berries and garnish with mint sprigs and edible flowers, optional.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Your pictures are stunning and that’s what drew me in, but my mouth is watering. Definitely saving this
This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this unique beautiful recipe.
Your pictures are so good! Also, this looks soooo tasty! Thanks for sharing.
This turned out so well!! Loved it! Thank you!
Brownie Pizza is something new for me
Surely will try this now
It looks amazing
My 4 year old granddaughter is highly allergic-dairy-eggs, yogurt, only rice milk, soy,garlic,peanuts wheat . You say you are allergic-dairy and gluten free-yet you say vegan eggs-I don’t think she can have that -is there another substitute?
Hi Carol! If your granddaughter is allergic to eggs, then try this recipe instead: http://www.wifemamafoodie.com/no-bake-berry-brownie-pizza/
It’s a no-bake vegan friendly version of this one and is completely free of dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts, and wheat. It does have walnuts or almonds though, but most any nut can be used in its place if needs be. I’m lactose intolerant and gluten sensitive, but I’m able to tolerate eggs, so some of the recipes on the site have eggs. Just about all of my most recent recipes are egg free/vegan friendly though. Sometimes it might say “flax egg”, but that just means 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds mixed with 3 tablespoons water, it’s not actually an egg. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions I can answer!
Can u please advise if there is a substitution for the organic
Coconut sugar
Hi Lana! I haven’t tried it, but I’m fairly sure regular or brown sugar would work. Please let me know if you get a chance to try it!
I just made it, used brown sugar 1/4 C instead of the coconut sweetener, very delicious and presentable, thank u very much, my kids like ved it so much.
This looks amazing! Definitely going to be trying this!
I was wondering though, do you think you could substitute the freeze dried raspberries for frozen raspberries in the coconut cream??
This looks amazing!! And I love how colorful it is!! I need to make this, stat!
I love any sweet take on the classic comfort food–heck, there are probably dessert mac n’ cheeses out there! Dessert pizzas, especially those that are single serving, are the best!
You have been killing it with the dessert pizzas lately!! They look almost too pretty to eat 🙂
That looks SO delicious! It’s so pretty with all of the vibrant berries and the flowers and I love the contrast between the chocolate brownie and the fresh berries!
