I tried making a Tastemade recipe... Fudge Brownie Crust Pecan Pie!


Happy Saturday after the Thanksgiving holiday! I hope everyone has recovered from their food comas and enjoyed the holiday. I wanted to share with you a new recipe I tried from Tastemade. I saw the quick 1 minute video shared by a friend and wanted to try it out as it looked super easy. It was actually pretty straightforward to make but not as easy as the video made it seem. The only part I had issues with really was the brownie crust as Tastemade's recipe could have shared the brownie brand they used or even come up with their own brownie recipe to make it easier for their readers around the world. Also, the video had amounts of ingredients to add to the brownie mix but the recipe below said follow the brownie box recipe but then gives specific baking times... so a little confusing there. 

Simply put... my brownie crust did not come out like shown in the video, so I tried my best to save it with extra pressing into the pie dish and cooking time. However, I thought the filling was extremely easy to make and very yummy, plus no corn syrup! Overall, I was able to put it all together and bring it to a friend's house for Thanksgiving... it was good but very rich with the brownie and filling combo. Also, with all the food we ate throughout the day by the time we got to the pies it was a struggle to eat more food. Now I have half a pie to finish off... challenge accepted though! 

Give this recipe a try for one of your upcoming holiday parties! If anyone figures out the right brownie mix or proper ingredient ratio to use for a crust, please let me know... I would like to try making it again! Here's the recipe link: https://www.tastemade.com/shows/hor/fudge-brownie-crust-pecan-pie.
