Cream cheese, pudding mix, marshmallow crème and cool whip make a mousse-like chocolate filling in this brownie-bottom super simple, but luxurious dessert recipe!
JUMP TO RECIPEIf you want to make an impressive dessert that looks like something from a fancy bakery but don’t want to spend all day on it, this is the pie for you!
I mean, LOOK at this thing! And not only does it look amazing, it tastes like a million bucks!
This is impressive enough for a swanky dinner party and easy enough to make any ol' time you want!
There are two things about this pie that make it extraordinary and unique. One is the brownie bottom (and of course bonus brownie chunks on top) and the other is the chocolate filling.
The chocolate filling is made with marshmallow cream which gives it this luxurious texture somewhere between mousse and swiss meringue.
This pie is like a perfect storm of dessert textures... fluffy, creamy, chewy and silky... in every single bite! It's the perfect balance. And did I mention, it's EASY?!
ALL YOU NEED TO MAKE TRIPLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE CREAM PIE
- Brownie Mix
- Cream Cheese
- Instant Chocolate Pudding
- Marshmallow Crème
- Cool Whip
- Chocolate Sauce (like Hershey's)
HOW TO MAKE TRIPLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE CREAM PIE
- Bake the brownie mix; half in a deep-dish pie pan and half in any 8 or 9-inch pan, then cool.
- Combine filling ingredients then pour into pie pan over brownie bottom.
- Top filling with Cool Whip.
- Cut remaining brownies into chunks then pile on top.
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce.
- BOOM! DONE!
A FEW NOTES ABOUT MAKING THIS RECIPE
- Any 18-20 ounce box of brownie mix will work. I prefer the plain variety in this recipe over anything with chocolate chunks or caramel.
- The cream cheese needs to be completely soft to avoid lumps. If the cream cheese isn’t smooth after beating, just leave it to set out a little longer then try again.
- To easily spoon the marshmallow cream from the jar, first remove the lid and seal then microwave for 20-25 seconds.
- Use any brand 4-serving size box instant pudding in this recipe (around 4 ounces).
- If it’s easier for you, feel free to use two 8-oz tubs of Cool Whip. You’ll use one (divided) in the chocolate filling then top the pie with the remaining tub.
- Light versions of all of these ingredients are great in this! I actually prefer the 1/3 less fat cream cheese (neufchatel cheese) in this recipe. Light Cool Whip and sugar-free pudding mix are great alternatives too.
PRO TIP!! Spooning marshmallow cream from the jar can be a chore because it sticks to the sides like crazy. A trick for getting it out of the jar more easily is to remove the lid and seal then microwave for 20-25 seconds just before you’re ready to spoon it out.
