Pumpkin everything season is here! I’m starting out with a bang with my Pumpkin Brownie Pie! I love the combo of chocolate and pumpkin and if you do too, you’re going to LOVE this. A classic graham cracker crust is filled with a fudgy dark brownie layer AND a pumpkin custard layer. I don’t think I’ll ever want a classic pumpkin pie after having this!
Don’t you want to dive in and grab a piece? This pie is the perfect blend of pumpkin spice and rich chocolate. The classic graham cracker crust is the best crunchy vessel for those flavors too!
Your Grocery List

How to Make Pumpkin Brownie Pie
For this Pumpkin Brownie Pie, you can make your own classic graham cracker crust or use the shortcut of buying one premade. I used a premade one so whatever you use will be great. Start by making the brownie layer.
Over a double boiler, melt chocolate and butter together. If it’s all you have, use semi sweet chocolate chips but I prefer a higher quality bar for recipes like this.
Once the chocolate and butter are melted, remove the bowl from the double boiler and whisk in the sugar and salt. Next, whisk in eggs, vanilla, and flour until just combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the crust and bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until just set. While it’s baking make the pumpkin custard.
Combine pumpkin puree, heavy cream, egg, vanilla extract, sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice and salt until smooth. Pour it over the cooked brownie layer than bake for an additional 12-15 minutes or until set. You will most likely need to place foil pieces or a pie crust shield around the edges during the last part of baking to prevent over-browning.
Let the pie cool on the counter for 20 minutes then place in fridge for 1-2 hours (or more) before serving. Top individual pieces with whipped cream.
Pumpkin Brownie Pie is easy, delicious, and the perfect pie for the fall season and upcoming holidays.
