French Silk Pie Brownies

Iris Warren

Report

French Silk Pie Brownies combine rich fudge brownies topped with a creamy French silk pie-style filling made from melted German chocolate, butter, cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and frozen whipped topping. The luscious, smooth chocolate topping is folded with whipped topping and spread over cooled brownies, then chilled until set. Optional chocolate curls add extra decoration and texture for an indulgent dessert experience.

Description

This dessert starts with a base of fudge brownies baked according to box directions and cooled completely. A French silk pie topping is made by melting a German chocolate bar with butter, then blending in cream cheese and confectioners sugar for a creamy texture. Half of the thawed frozen whipped topping is folded into the chocolate mixture, creating a light mousse-like consistency. This filling is spread evenly over the brownies. The remaining whipped topping is spread on top, smoothing for a layered look. Chocolate curls or shavings can garnish the final dessert. Refrigerating for at least four hours allows the filling to firm up before slicing. The combination provides a rich, creamy chocolate experience balanced by the dense brownie beneath.

Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

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