How to Make Di's Cream Cheese Brownie Pie
- Prepare your favorite 9-inch pie crust (or use a store-bought one).
- Chill the prepared pie crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg. Beat until completely smooth and creamy.
- Set the cream cheese mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounces) brownie mix, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1/3 cup water, and 2 large eggs. Mix well until just combined.
- Pour 1/2 cup of the brownie batter into the chilled pie crust. Spread evenly to form a thin layer.
- Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture over the brownie layer. Spread evenly.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cream cheese layer. Spread evenly to the edges.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans over the top.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the center is puffed and the crust is golden brown. If the edges are browning too quickly after 15-20 minutes, cover them loosely with aluminum foil strips.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the pie is cooling, heat your favorite hot fudge sauce in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Once the pie is completely cool (at least 3 hours), drizzle the hot fudge sauce generously over the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve chilled, with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream, if desired.
