<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhen Myles and I first made this pie<\/a>, people messaged us dying to get their hands on the detailed recipe. We are happy to oblige!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n This crust has only three ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I make my cheesecake brownie pie recipe from scratch as I’ve never been a big fan of brownies from box mixes. The pie uses a double batch of my addictive cakey brownies<\/a>. I make this brownie batter in one bowl using cocoa powder for the decadent chocolate flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ll need some common ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This layer also uses ingredients you may have sitting around your kitchen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of my favorite things about my brownie pie is the pretzel pie crust<\/a>. I love the combination of chocolate brownie and the salty crust. I am actually itching to make regular brownies with this crust now that I’ve used it in the pie. It adds so much to the brownies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This crust is so simple<\/em> to make. Food process pretzels, sugar, and melted butter until they have the texture of wet sand. Put into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 10″ deep dish pie pan and bake for 10 minutes at 350 F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To make the brownie layer, combine all ingredients and beat with an electric mixer for three minutes. Pour into the prepared crust. That’s it!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The cheesecake swirl topping can also be made in one bowl. It’s a mixture of cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Beat these ingredients until smooth, pour right over the brownie batter, and smooth with a spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Swirl the cheesecake with the chocolate below to give your pie a marbled look, and then bake at 350 F until the pie is set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you’ve poured the cheesecake batter on top of the brownie batter, use a knife or a bench scraper to draw lines or swirls into the cheesecake layer. As you dig deeper into the batter, some of the brownie batter will be unearthed, creating a marble effect on the top of the pie:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you like the idea of this pie but would prefer a box brownie mix or another brownie recipe<\/a>, feel free to swap that layer out while keeping the pretzel crust and cheesecake toppings as written.<\/p>

Once it’s completely cool, you can cover and store this pie in the refrigerator for up to four days.<\/p>
