Brownie Cheesecake Pie

This recipe is courtesy of a box of brownie mix. Mom stumbled across it when I was a freshman in college. We made it a number of times. I took it up to college with me a couple of times. It doesn't take long for a full pan to disappear in a wing full of girls.

I decided to pull the recipe out for a family Christmas party. It had been too long since we've made this.

Brownie Cheesecake Pie

1 unbaked pie crust (We substitute an Oreo pie crust.)
8 oz cream cheese
3 T. sugar
1 t. vanilla
3 eggs
1 (15.1 oz) pkg Pillsbury Thick ‘n Fudgy Hot Fudge Swirl Deluxe Brownie Mix
1/4 c. oil
2 T. water
1/2 c. chopped pecans

Combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, 1 egg; beat until smooth. Set aside fudge packet. Combine brownie mix, oil, 1 T. water, and 2 eggs; beat 50 strokes with spoon. Spread 1/2 brownie mix on the bottom of the crust. Spoon and carefully spread cream cheese mixture over brownie layer. Top with remaining brownie mix. Sprinkle with pecans. Bake at 350° for 40-50 min. Microwave hot fudge in a bowl for 30 seconds. Stir in 1 T. water. Drizzle fudge over pie. Cool completely (about 3 hrs). Store in refrigerator.
