This showstopper of a pie combines a layer of brownies with a layer of candy bar-studded cheesecake and a glossy crown of chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • CREAM CHEESE LAYER:
  • 10 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 Snickers candy bars (2.07 ounces each), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • GLAZE:
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°. In a heavy saucepan, bring butter, sugar and water to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate until melted; cool slightly. Stir in vanilla.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs until lightly beaten. Gradually add chocolate mixture; mix well. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to egg mixture. Spread into a greased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Bake 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla just until blended. Arrange candy bar pieces over brownie layer; spread cream cheese mixture over top. Bake 18-20 minutes or until top is set and edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour.
  4. For glaze, bring cream to a simmer; remove from heat. Add chocolate and stir until smooth. Cool 15 minutes; pour over pie. Refrigerate until serving.
