Made in a pie plate, Firecracker Brownie Pie is a layered brownie dish with hot fudge topping, vanilla ice cream and sprinkles!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 – 18.4 ounce fudge Brownie Mix (and ingredients for Brownie Mix, i.e., oil, water, egg)
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/3 cup of white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 8 ounces of jarred hot fudge topping
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream
  • Red and Blue sprinkles
  • Non-stick cooking spray or canola oil to grease pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Cover a 9″ pie plate with aluminum foil, fitting snugly and as smooth as you can inside the pie plate.
  3. Grease aluminum foil now inside the pie plate (bottom and sides) and set aside.
  4. Pour brownie mix into bowl and add chili powder; toss with fork to combine.
  5. Make brownie mix according to package instructions; add white chocolate chips and walnuts and stir to combine.
  6. Pour into pie plate and smooth with spatula.
  7. Bake per package instructions adjusting cooking time and temperature based on the size of your pan and whether it is glass or metal (I used glass).
  8. Once the brownie has baked, remove from oven and allow to cool completely inside of pan.
  9. Once brownie has cooled completely (about an hour and a half), lift from pan using aluminum foil.
  10. Carefully remove aluminum foil from brownie and put brownie back inside of pie plate minus aluminum foil.
  11. Cover with hot fudge topping (I did not heat the hot fudge topping; just used a small spatula and scraped it out and then smoothed in over top).
  12. Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
  13. While freezing the brownie, remove vanilla ice cream from freezer and allow to defrost slightly.
  14. Scoop vanilla ice cream out of container and on to top of brownie pie, using spatula to smooth ice cream.
  15. If ice cream is not melted enough to smooth easily, wet your spatula in water and use it wet to smooth ice cream.
  16. Once smooth, place brownie pie back in freezer for two hours.
  17. Once almost hardened, remove from freezer and place star-shaped cookie cutters on top.
  18. Using a small spoon, scoop red and blue sprinkles into cookie cutters.
  19. Sprinkle additional red and blue sprinkles around pie.
  20. Remove cookie cutters and place brownie pie back in freezer to finish hardening.
  21. Serve.

Notes

Firecracker Brownie Pie is hard to cut because it is frozen! Use sharp knife, carefully cutting through each layer over-and-over again until the knife is through to the bottom of the pie plate. Once you have cut both sides of the slice, plus the outside edge of the pie, the slice of pie will lift out easily with a pie server. Freeze uneaten pie for another day!
