Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for filling
- Chocolate shavings or whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the Brownie Base: In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into a greased pie dish and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool completely.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
- Add the Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread the cream cheese filling over the cooled brownie base, smoothing it out evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Serve: Slice the pie and garnish with chocolate shavings or whipped cream if desired. Enjoy your delicious brownie bottom pie!
