Strawberry Fudge Pie

1 refrigerated pie crust
1 box of your favorite brownie mix

Cheesecake Layer
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg

Topping
3 c fresh strawberries, halved
2 tbsp hot fudge topping or Hershey's syrup

• Heat oven to 350.
• Place pie crust in pie dish.
• Make brownies as directed on box & pour into crust.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes until top is shiny & center is set. If necessary, cover edges of crust after 15 minutes to prevent excessive browning.
• In a small bowl, mix cheesecake layer ingredients.
• Quickly spoon mixture over partially baked brownies & spread carefully (This is tricky. I may double the cheesecake layer to have more).
• Bake an additional 18-20 minutes until cream cheese is set.
  
• Cool for 1 hour.
• Arrange strawberry halves, cut side down over cheesecake layer.
• Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Immediately before serving, drizzle chocolate over pie.
