every year, and I'm glad they get to spend some time together. But even though she is gone, pie day must happen! I recruited my daughter Emilee and her friend Maddie, in an attempt to shore up the troops in Angie's absence.
Fudge Brownie Pie seems to me to be more of a brownie than a pie, but as long as we can make it in a pie pan, and I can find a recipe that calls it pie... that is sufficient evidence for me.
It is a pretty straightforward pie, and since it is

You then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. When you pour the filling into the pie, it doesn't fill the tin fully, but it will expand while baking.

| Toasting Marshmallows |
I was worried about frosting around the marshmallows, but it was actually pretty easy. They are pretty adhered and don't pull up while you are spreading the frosting around.
The pie was rich, so have some milk for a chaser, but it was very good!
Pie Recipient of the Week
 |
| Left: Connor and Scott Right: Scott and Sarah |
Our Pie Recipients of the week are Scott and Sarah Kenworthy. Scott is a minister at our church and Sarah is involved in the Kingsway student ministry. Scott has recently accepted a position to be the lead pastor at a church in Owensboro, Ky, and such partings are always bittersweet. We are happy for their new opportunity, but sad to see them go.
Scott has not only been a great minister, but also a great spiritual advisor for my son Connor. When your son has a question about the Bible, it is nice to know that the guy he is asking is not only well versed in theology, but he even knows how to read Greek and Hebrew! He has been an amazing blessing to us, so hopefully the pie was well received.
Angie here... I had a wonderful weekend away with my mom! I'm so thankful for a hubby like Brian who supports me in every way. I was thrilled that Brian and Connor choose Scott and Sarah for this weeks pie. We sure will miss them and wish them many blessings in their new church and home. Oh! The pie? Rich and delicious!!! I loved the marshmallows ;) It would be best served with vanilla ice cream!
Recipe
The recipe is one that was shared to my Facebook wall, so here it is.
This recipe was voted the best Blogger recipe in 2012 and my friend Marie from the English Kitchen is generous enough to share it with you. I made this yesterday and it is insanely good.
Fudge Brownie Pie
3/4 cup flour
1 cup of regular sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
4 ounces butter, melted
2 large free range eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
2 handfuls of mini marshmallows
For the frosting:
2 ounces butter, melted (1/4 cup)
1 ounce cocoa powder, sifted (1/4 cup)
2 ounces evaporated milk (1/4 cup)
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted (8 ounces)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 inch spring form pan set aside.
Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Beat together the butter, eggs and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Stir in the toasted nuts. Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake on a middle shelf of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Immediately sprinkle the marshmallows on top and return to the oven for a few minutes to melt the marshmallows. Remove from the oven and carefully spread the chocolate frosting over top.
To make the chocolate frosting mix all ingredients together in a bowl, beating with an electric whisk until smooth and thick. Spread on the hot marshmallows. Let cool completely. Cut into wedges to serve.
