Description

If you would combine fudgy brownies with a French Silk Pie, this dessert is what you would get. They are rich and creamy and won't last long, so make sure that you bake enough.

Ingredients

• Brownies:
• 1 box of brownie mix, plus ingredients to make the brownies, OR use the following brownie recipe:
• 2 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate
• 2 oz. semi-sweet baking chocolate
• 3/4 c. unsalted butter
• 1 3/4 c. granulated sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 T. vanilla extract
• 1/2 t. salt

Steps

1. You can make a box brownie mix according to package directions, or make a great brownie recipe as directed in step 2. Allow the brownies to cool completely. It’s probably easiest to make these straight in the pan without foil, or use parchment instead for easy cutting.
2. Brownie Recipe:
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×13 inch pan with foil or parchment paper; spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place baking chocolates and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl; heat in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes depending on the microwave. Stir sugar into chocolate mixture; stir in eggs until well mixed; add vanilla, cocoa and salt; stir until smooth; carefully stir in the flour.
