I was sent a nice little package of goodies to make a delicious recipe of my choice. I looked through the Pillsbury Bake-Off, 100 Winning Recipes and chose a previous winning recipe – Cream Cheese Brownie Pie.
In my package came Watkins Vanilla, Reynolds Parchment Paper and Foil, flour, baking cups and slow cook liners.
My daughter had fun rolling out the pie crust. The parchment paper came in handy.
Instead of using pie crusts I used Gluten Free Dough. It comes in a small container and you take out what you need and save the rest.
Cream Cheese Brownie Pie
Recipe Type: Dessert
Ingredients
- Crust:
- 1 box Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts, softened
- Cream Cheese Layer:
- 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- Brownie Layer:
- 1 box Pillsbury double chocolate brownie mix
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 pecans ( I left them out)

- Reserved chocolate syrup packet form brownie mix
- 3 tablespoons hot fudge topping
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350. Place pie crust in 9 inch glass pie plate.
- In medium bowl, beat cream cheese layer ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, set aside.
- Reserve chocolate syrup packet from brownie mix for topping. In larger bowl, place brownie mix, oil, 1 tablespoon water and eggs. Beat 50 strokes with spoon.
- Spread 1/2 cup brownie mixture in bottom of crust-lined pie plate. Spoon and carefully spread cream cheese mixture over brownie layer. Top with small spoonfuls of remaining brownie mixture, spread evenly. Sprinkle with pecan if you add them. Cover crust edge with 2 inch wide strips of foil to prevent excessive browning , remove foil during last 15 minutes of bake time.

My husband is a sugar addict too and ate most of it!!
I have never seen that dough before! I need to look for it because we are having guests coming to stay in May and one of them eats gluten free so it would be great to be able to make some quick desserts that she can eat too.
I think it’s fairly new.
Oh this pie looks heavenly! It’s not difficult to see why it’s a previous winner.
