Every single time that happens, my heart drops into my stomach,
and I instantly look at my speedometer to make sure I’m not speeding.
I hadn’t gone through a red light…that day,
and I wasn’t trying to text and drive.
So why do I get so jumpy?
I did the same thing another day when we went past the park,
and sure enough in the turn around was a cop car.
My eyes dropped right to my speed.
This time I was going about 10 over…
I thought for sure I was going to be busted.
My stomach was full of butterflies and I felt all jittery!
And of course the kids were in the van with me.
Thank goodness, no red lights and sirens came after me.
Brownie pie topped with pumpkin cheesecake and cool whip.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts. Place one sheet in a 10 inch glass pie plate. Cut small shapes out of the second pie crust with tiny cookie cutters. Arrange around the top of the pie crust in the pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, oil, water, coffee, and one egg. Beat until combined. Carefully spread in the bottom of the pie crust. Bake for 30 minutes at 350*.
- While the brownie layer is baking, cream the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Add the egg and pumpkin and cream again. Slowly beat in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour.
- When the brownie layer is finished, remove from the oven and carefully spread the cheesecake on top of the brownie layer. Place back in the oven and bake another 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set on a cooling rack. Let cool for an hour. Place in refrigerator and cool completely. Spread the cool whip on top and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.

You’re right, just looking at these photos and I get jumpy feelings in my stomach.
These brownies look scrumptious and they’re screaming my name!!
I get the same way when I see a cop car. Every morning on my way to work the cops sit in the same place and I always slow way down and everyone ends up passing me. This pie looks amazing!! I wish I could grab a piece through the screen!
Oh Jocelyn…I’m not sure I have any words for this one – I’m in deliciousness shock! This looks AMAZING! I knew you were just teasing about being done with pumpkin
How was the pumpkin soup that you made?
I knew I wouldn’t stay away from the pumpkin for long!!! The soup was awesome…hopefully I will post that one soon too!!!
OMG… OMG…. I want to say something wonderful and witty and charming but OMG…
LOL I completely understand!!!
That pie looks amazing! Too bad we can’t sample through the computer…that could be dangerous. Speaking of dangerous…I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets like that when a cop pulls up behind me. I always do the same as you, and straighten my posture and tighten my grip on the wheel. lol.
Mmmmmm……Thanks for sharing this. It looks amazing! (New follower- found you through Online BlogCon!)
Have an great weekend- with hopefully no cops driving behind you!
hey you should keep this pie in your car if and when a cop pulls you over. there’s no way he’d give you a ticket! LOL
1) I love that this is SO easy to make… and looks beyond gorgeous to boot!
2) I always get the same way with cops. They give me the heebie-jeebies even if I’m doing nothing wrong. Don’t bust me!
3) See #2. I need a pie.
That is one heck of a bite! Wow, it looks delicious and creamy! You can’t have enough pumpkin really! Oh I hate it when cops follow me, I agree that is the worst feeling!
No, you really can’t have enough pumpkin recipes:-)
Love your blog, very nice! This recipe looks fantastic. Cannot wait to try it. Stop by and visit us. We are having a terrific giveaway from a Southern author this week. Register in the Televenge post!
Oh my. Those layers look incredible! This pie needs to be at my house right now!
The layers are definitely the best part of the pie!!!
Bring on the sugar high!
Cheesecake, pumpkin, AND brownie?!? That is the perfect dessert!! Thanks for sharing at Foodie Friends Friday!
I agree…perfect dessert for this time of year!!!!
My heart always skips a beat when i see police cars! even if i’m doing nothing wrong, lol..i just hate them!! cause they always have some dumb excuse if they come after you. my heart is skipping a beat now staring at this cheesecake brownie pie!! delicious!!
This pie will definitely make your heart start to skip beats:-)
That tiny pumpkin makes me feel lonely. lol

Wow four layers of heaven! I will make this pie for thanksgiving dessert – and once before just for practice! (:
Thanks for sharing with us at Foodie Friends Friday but shame on you! I have fresh pumpkin puree in the fridge and you know I have to use it now! OMGosh that looks fab. Will let you know how quickly this one disappears at my house

I really want to make these! But the directions are a little confusing, step by step pictures help a lot!
Oh my, this looks soooo good. Digging that brownie layer and the cheesecake layer too.
And yes! I do the exact same when I just happen to look in my rearview mirror and see the police behind me too. First thing I do is look at my speed. I normally then switch my car onto cruise control at the speed limit so I know I won’t end up going over too. Haha.

Oh my goodness Jocelyn, where has this pie been all my life? To. Die. For. Totally pinned, totally making it. And I HATE when a cop is behind me. Or when I realize one is hiding behind the bushes as I drive past. Jitters, every time!!!
Ha! I do the same when I see a police car – immediately check my speedometer. Your pie looks heavenly. I’ve seen a lot of pumpkin cheesecake in blogland right now but none with an amazing brownie layer in it. So going to make this. Thanks!
This pie is out of this world. I could not be trusted with it because it would be gone in 24 hours! And I’m right there with you…love my Cool Whip with a side of pie
Oh my gosh, I totally know what you mean about cops and butterflies. Happens to me EVERY time! But this pie could certainly make me feel better

That looks delicious! I would never have thought to make a pie with those three flavors. I will have to try it soon!
These three flavors work so well together:-)
I want to make this today, I believe I have all the ingredients! Now to find the time…
You are going to want to find the time somewhere to make this one:-) I hope you enjoy it!!!
Yummy, this pie sounds and looks amazing. I am pinning it for Thanksgiving. Smiles, Paula
Just found your recipe on Foodie Friends Friday. Looks delicious!
Have I told you lately I love you? Now hand over a slice and no one will get hurt! I can’t wait to give this a try! Pinned!
If I had any left, I would most definitely invite you over for coffee and pie:-)
Only 3 letters need to be applied. O.M.G.!!!!
haha! I totally agree:-)
Hi Jocelyn: I’m Connie at http://hotflashncraftn.blogspot.com/, a new GFC friend. I would love if you stop by and be mine, too.
This looks so fantastic. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Oh wow! I think this will be on our table for Thanksgiving dinner. Why choose between pie or cheesecake if you don’t have to.
Thanks for sharing at Mealtime Monday!

It’s the best of both worlds when pie meets cheesecake:-)
OH MAN! I thought I was onto something when I did the similar pie… but cheesecake added into it?! Pure genius my friend.
I love that we made something so similar:-)
YUM!! Who can wait until Thanksgiving?!

This looks amazing and I want to make it for Thanksgiving but I do not like coffee. Can the coffee be omitted?
You can leave out the coffee and it won’t affect it at all. The coffee in it just helps deepen the chocolate flavor!!!
Glad you didn’t get a ticket! This treat looks delish. It’s party worthy!
