When my boys were in high school, their math classes would celebrate Pi Day. I often volunteered to make pies for the classes, and one year I made this brownie mint pie. Six of them actually.
It was such a hit, I was getting emails from Moms in the class asking for the recipe.
In previous years, I’ve made whoopie pies, but moon pies would be fun too. I’ve made chicken pot pie for dinner as well. The kids love the treat, and the teachers appreciate a minor diversion. Truth be told, I hate math, and anyone who knows me well knows this, but I love baking, so this has become a tradition.

What do I need for the brownie pie recipe?

Tips and Substitutions
This peppermint brownie pie is delicious just the way it is, but you can take it up a notch with a few simple tips.
- Stir in one cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Add one teaspoon vanilla extract.
- I topped the pie with vanilla ice cream, but you could easily whip some heavy whipping cream and a bit of sugar and top slices with homemade whipped cream.
- Add one teaspoon of espresso powder for a rich chocolate flavor.
- You’ll notice in the photo and the recipe that I used a frozen pie crust. In the interest of time, when making so many for the kids, I switched it up and used store-bought Oreo cookie crusts. A real time saver since there is no thawing time. Both types of crusts make a delicious pie. I would say it’s a matter of preference just how much chocolate you want in the pie.
- Place the unbaked pie on a baking sheet to bake it. It will be easier to transfer to and from the oven.
- Garnish with vanilla ice cream, fresh whipped cream, chocolate or fudge sauce, and chopped Andes mints. Use all of these or any combination you prefer.
Don’t add all of these suggestions. I would pick either the vanilla extract or the espresso powder.
