How to Make Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownie Pie
- Preheat oven to 350. Press room temperature pie crust into 9" pie pan. Set aside.
- Cream milk and cream cheese with electric mixer on a lower speed until smooth.
- Add confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix until blended.
- Mix brownies as directed on box. Pour half of the brownie mix into prepared pie crust.
- Next, spoon all of the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie layer.
- Pour the rest of the brownie mixture on top. Smooth over with rubber spatula.
- Cover the edges of pie with aluminum foil to prevent crust from over browning. Bake 35-40 minutes.
- After 35-40 minutes, remove foil from pie and bake an additional 10-15 minutes (pie may crack on top, this is okay).
- Remove pie from the oven.
- Sprinkle with mini chips. Let pie cool completely (3 hours on the counter, hour and a half in the fridge). After the pie is cool, you can drizzle with the chocolate syrup if your boxed brownie included the chocolate packet.
- Slice and enjoy. Watch out! It's decadent.
