Espresso Brownie Pie

Recipe by Mike Johnston, Savory Spice founder

Baking

What started out as a chocolate pecan pie idea turned into a nutty, mocha-like brownie filling baked into a flaky pie crust. It's pretty awesome with ice cream!

Recipe Notes

*If making a homemade pie crust (which we highly recommend), refrigerate it after rolling it out and lining the pie pan with it. This will help keep the butter cool and produce a flakier cooked crust. The pie can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Bring to room temp before serving.
