Strawberry Cheesecake Brownie Pie
Makes about 8 servings
INGREDIENTS
+ Frozen pie crust, thawed
strawberry cheesecake mixture
+ 8 oz softened cream cheese
+ ⅓ cup sugar
+ 1 egg
+ 1 tsp vanilla extract
+ ½ cup strawberry preserves
brownie pie filling
+ 8 tbsp butter, unsalted
+ 2 oz baking chocolate, unsweetened
+ 1 cup sugar
+ ½ tsp salt
+ 1 tsp vanilla extract
+ 3 eggs
+ ½ cup flour
+ ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. If your pie crust is frozen, let it thaw out before filling it.
PART 1: BROWNIE PIE FILLING
3. Heat the butter and unsweetened chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the sugar until smooth. Pour into a medium bowl and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
5. Whisk the eggs into the cooled brownie mixture one at a time. Whisk in the flour, vanilla extract and salt.
6. Fold in chocolate morsels. Pour half of the brownie batter into the pie crust. Set aside.
PART 2: STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE MIXTURE
7. Whisk the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
8. Pour the cheesecake mixture on top of brownie batter in the crust. Dollop strawberry preserves and the remaining brownie batter on top. Use a knife to swirl together to create a marbled look.
9. Bake until just set and a crust forms on top, approximately 50-60 minutes. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
10. To store, wrap tightly and keep at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Past that the crust could become soggy.
Top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, or even drizzle more strawberry preserves on top and enjoy!
