My first contribution is a yummy dessert with chocolate, so you know it can't be bad. One of my former students made this for me, and I was quickly hooked. It's super easy to make, and everybody that loves chocolate loves it. I'll be honest, I kind of like to show off my culinary skills, so I made it for the first time for Greg's family Christmas this year to prove my domestic worth. It looks really pretty, and it's yummy too. It was a hit, and my self-esteem was salvaged. Here goes.
Chocolate Brownie Pie
- 1 package fudge brownie mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- I large package chocolate pudding
- 1 8 oz tub of Cool Whip
Prepare brownies according to package directions and bake in a 9 inch pie pan until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. (You'll end up scooping out the middle of the brownies, so if the middle is a little gooey, it's ok. Keep an eye on the outside edge, so it doesn't burn.) Cool completely and then scoop out the middle of the brownies, leaving a crust around the pie pan. Then, mix the pudding and milk, beating with a whisk. Stir in half of the Cool Whip and 1/4 cup of the removed brownie crumbles. Spoon into the brownie crust. Top with remaining Cool Whip. Sprinkle with brownie crumbs and powdered sugar if desired.
