Chocolate Silk Pie Brownies

Have you ever made a dish and instantly knew it was a winner?

This French Silk Pie Brownies recipe was exactly that! My husband even asked me if I could make it again so he could take it to work – and he never asks to take stuff to work to share! ? I already have plans to make this for our Labor Day cookout and when we have friends over for dinner next month!

This recipe starts off with a boxed brownie mix. It gets topped off with an easy to make French silk pie filling, then a layer of whipped topping. Chocolate shavings or in my case, mini chocolate chips, make the perfect garnishment.

Ingredients 

For the brownies

  • 1 box fudge brownie mix, 18.3 oz.
  • Ingredients listed on box to prepare brownies

For the topping

  • 1 bar German chocolate bar, finely chopped, 4 oz.
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed, 1/2 stick
  • 1 package cream cheese, softened, 8 oz.
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tub frozen whipped topping, thawed, 16 oz.
  • Chocolate curls or mini chocolate chips, for decorating (optional)

Instructions 

  • Prepare and bake the brownies according to the package directions using a 9×9-inch square baking dish. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  • Microwave the German chocolate pieces with the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl on HIGH for 30 seconds. Stir, then melt for another 15 seconds. Stir until smooth and melted.
  • To the melted chocolate mixture, beat in the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until combined. Fold in half (8 ounces) of the whipped topping.
  • Spread the French silk filling over the cooled brownies. Top with remaining whipped topping and garnish with chocolate curls, if using.
  • Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or until set, before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For thinner brownies, you can use a 9×13-inch baking dish.
