Java Cheesecake Brownie Pie

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Yesterday was the end of year teacher appreciation luncheon at Andrew’s school.  I volunteered to make a vegetable casserole and a dessert.  The casserole was an easy choice, as I received lovely squash in my CSA delivery.  But, the dessert, that was a little more difficult.  So many choices!  Cake, cheesecake, pie, brownies. 

Then it hit me – years back I remember making a cheesecake brownie pie that was out of sight good.  I decided to make 2, since there were quite a few teachers, and I knew this pie would go fast.  Chocolate and cheesecake?  Win-win!

I took a shortcut or two, using frozen pie crusts and microwavable hot fudge.  If you’re really short of time, use a brownie mix, too.  Also, if you’re not a coffee fan, just leave the espresso powder out of the batter, but, let me tell you, that cheesecake layer is beyond delicious, and I have plans to make a java cheesecake.  Keep an eye out!
