For the Fourth of July, I’d like to share with you an easy chocolate pie topped with a creamy layer and farm fresh berries. A dessert I’m sure will be a crowd pleaser. Now, mind you, i rarely go with a brownie box mix, but, this will be an exception to the rule. I chose Ghirardelli with it’s luxurious deep flavor, rich texture and just super simple to prepare. So, here is my patriotic pie recipe!! Hope you enjoy.

 

SERVES: 10

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 dark chocolate brownie mix

8 ounce package of Greek yogurt and cream cheese

1/4 cup local honey

fresh strawberries, handful

fresh blueberries, handful

2 bananas, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 inch pie plate.

Make batter as directed. Spread in the plate. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely, about one hour.

In a small bowl, beat yogurt/cream cheese mixture and honey with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Carefully spread mixture evenly over brownie base. Arrange berries and bananas over cream cheese base. Refrigerate for one hour, or until chilled. Cut into wedges. Store covered in refrigerator.
