This is the winning recipe from the 1999 Pillsbury
Bake-Off. Bobbie Sonefel won a cool million for her
easy-to-make pie!
1 refrigerated pie crust
(from 15 oz. package) softened as directed
on package
8 oz. package cream cheese,
softened
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
15 oz. package Pillsbury Thick 'n Fudgy Hot Fudge
Swirl Deluxe Brownie
Mix
1/4 cup oil
2 Tbsp. water
1/2 cup pecans,
chopped
 Heat
oven to 350°. Prepare pie crust as directed on package
(for one-crust filled pie)
using 9-inch pie pan. In medium bowl, combine cream
cheese, sugar, vanilla and one of the eggs; beat until
smooth. Set aside.
 Reserve
hot fudge packet from brownie mix for topping. In large
bowl, combine brownie mix, oil, 1 Tbsp of water and
2 remaining eggs; beat 50 strokes with a spoon. Spread
1/2 cup brownie mixture in bottom of crust-lined pan.
Spoon and carefully spread cream cheese mixture over
brownie layer. Top with remaining brownie mixture; spread
evenly. Sprinkle with pecans.
 Bake
at 350° for 40 to 50 minutes or until center is
puffed and crust is golden brown. If necessary cover
edge of crush with strips of foil after 15 to 20 minutes
of baking to prevent excessive browning. (Pie may have
cracks on surface.)
 Place
hot fudge from packet in small microwave-save bowl.
Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir in remaining
tablespoon of water. Drizzle fudge over top of pie.
Cool 3 hours or until completely cooled. Store in refrigerator.
