How to Make Brownie Bottom Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 8 ounces of unsweetened baker's chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Remove from microwave and stir in 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pie plate and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the brownie crust cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. While the crust is cooling, prepare the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups cold milk and two (3.4 ounce) packages of instant chocolate pudding mix until smooth and creamy.
  11. Let the pudding stand for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
  12. Pour the chocolate pudding over the cooled brownie crust and spread evenly.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the pudding is set.
  14. Top with whipped cream and garnish with grated baker's chocolate before serving.
