Brownie Pie

Some of my follower friends know that I live in NJ, right on the other side of the water from NYC. It has been extremely cold the pasts few weeks and I really can’t take this weather much longer……..it is way too extreme for me…..I think I have had it with the snow and extreme temperatures.

Is spring near?……

Anyhow, I have been craving some sort of warm chocolate dessert lately so I figured I could make brownies. I came up with brownie pie…..yum….yum….

I must say that I really love this brownie pie. Not only because it is super simple to put together, like many other desserts that I have made, but because it is really tasty and moist. I skipped the nuts this time around but next attempt will include the nuts, perhaps some walnuts.

It is good by itself or with some ice cream and chocolate sauce, as in the picture. I am sure it would also be just as good with caramel sauce. Either way, you can’t go wrong with this one. You may choose another type of baking pan if you prefer. It is a pie so I figured a 9 inch cake pan would do.

Let me know if you try it.

Enjoy!

It is just like brownies. Moist, chocolaty and divine to say the least :-)
