Oreo Crusted Brownie Pie with Cream Cheese Icing

For the Oreo crust:

Preheat oven to 350 F and grease an 8- or 9-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and along the sides of the pie plate so that the crust is even. Bake crust for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.

For the brownie layer:

Melt butter and chocolate in a heavy saucepan over low heat stirring constantly. Once melted, remove the pan from heat and whisk in the sugar. Whisk in egg and vanilla until well combined. Fold in flour just until combined. Pour the brownie batter over the top of the prepared pie crust and smooth the top. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a knife or toothpick comes out clean after poking it in the center. Do not overbake.

Set brownie pie aside to cool and prepare cream cheese icing.

For the icing:

Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer for several minutes or until light and creamy. Add butter and beat until well combined. Add powdered sugar and beat on low speed. When sugar is incorporated beat icing on high speed until mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla.

When brownie pie has cooled and the icing is ready, spread icing evenly over the brownie pie. Serve immediately and store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to five days.
