Banana Split Brownie Pizza

• 1 (20-ounce) box Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix (plus ingredients to prepare
• 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
• 1 8-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained, juice reserved
• 2  tablespoon  sugar
• 2 bananas, sliced and tossed in lemon juice to prevent browning
• 1  cup  fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1  cup  chopped nuts
• chocolate ice cream topping or chocolate syrup, for drizzling

Preheat over to 350 F. Grease a 15-inch pizza pan. Prepare brownie mix according to directions on box. Pour onto prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from over and cool. Beat cream cheese, pineapple, and sugar together in a bowl. Use any reserved pineapple at this time if needed to soften the mixture to a good spreading consistency. Otherwise dispose of or save juice for another use. Spread mixture over brownie crust. Arrange banana and strawberry slices over cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and drizzle with chocolate ice cream topping. Refrigerate. To serve, slice as you would a pizza and enjoy.
