Recipe Introduction


Scrumptious chocolate pie begins with a brownie mix and has a luscious cream cheese layer topped with pecans.





List of Ingredients



• 1 pre-made refrigerated pie crust (from 15-ounce package), softened as directed on package
  
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  
• 3 Tablespoons sugar
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
  
• 3 eggs
  
• 1 (15.1-ounce) package deluxe brownie mix with fudge packet (fudge packet reserved for finishing)
  
• 1/4 cup oil
  
• 2 Tablespoons water
  
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  






Instructions



1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare pie crust as directed on package for one-crust filled pie using 9-inch pie pan.
   
2. In medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and 1 of the eggs. Beat until smooth. Set aside.
   
3. Reserve hot fudge packet from brownie mix for topping. In large bowl, combine brownie mix, oil, 1 tablespoon of the water and remaining 2 eggs. Beat 50 strokes with spoon.
   
4. Spread 1/2 cup brownie mixture in bottom of crust-lined pan. Spoon and carefully spread cream cheese mixture over brownie layer. Top with remaining brownie mixture; spread evenly. Sprinkle with pecans.
   
5. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 40 to 50 minutes or until center is puffed and crust is golden brown. If necessary, cover edge of crust with strips of foil after 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. (Pie may have cracks on surface.)
   
   
6. Place hot fudge from packet in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir in remaining tablespoon water. Drizzle fudge over top of pie. Cool three hours or until completely cooled. Store in refrigerator.
