I found an old recipe for Brownie Pie. I went to the store to buy the mix the recipe asked for and found that they don't make it anymore. Soooo...I used my head and came up with my own version of this delicious pie!
But, before you bite in to it...let me warn you!
You'll need a cup of coffee or glass of milk to wash it down with.
It's rich, but fudgy moist with a creamy middle.

Oh. My. Goodness. Good!!
Cream Cheese Fudge Brownie Pie
1 refrigerated pie crust, softened
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
3 TBSP sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
1 Ultimate Fudge Brownie Mix
(I used Better Crocker)
1/4 cup oil
1 TBSP + 2 tsp water
1/2 cup chopped pecans
(my pecans apparently didn't make it home from the store
and I didn't realize it until I needed them for this pie!)
Heat oven to 350*
Place pie crust on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until edges are light golden.
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and 1 egg.
Beat until smooth. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add brownie mix, oil, water and remaining two eggs.
(set aside fudge packet)
Stir with a spoon or whisk until combined and mixed together.
Spread 1/2 brownie mix in pie crust.
Spread cream cheese mixture on top of brownie mix.
(may need to use spatula to spread cream cheese to the sides)
Top with remaining brownie mix.Spread evenly.
Top with pecans
(optional)
Bake at 350* for 40 - 50 minutes,
until edges of crust are golden brown.
Center will be puffed and slightly 'crispy' to the touch.
Squeeze hot fudge, from packet, in to a small bowl and microwave 5 - 10 seconds,
just until heated and thin.
If you don't believe that this will be enough fudge topping, you can add chocolate syrup or other fudge topping. I used chocolate syrup this time...and it was delicious!)
Drizzle the fudge on top of pie.
(I only drizzled half of it and saved the rest
for each person to drizzle more if needed)
Allow pie to cool.
Center of pie will fall as the pie cools.
Cut in to 8 pieces.
Drizzle each piece with more fudge if needed.
Enjoy!
