Ingredients

Brownie Base

1 box Betty Crocker™ Fudge Brownie Mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box for cakelike brownies

Layers

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup more fruit cherry pie filling
1 container (12 oz) Cool Whip frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 boxes (4-serving size each) Jell-O™ pistachio-flavor instant pudding & pie filling mix
3 cups cold milk

Topping

1/4 cup chopped shelled pistachio nuts
20 maraschino cherries, stems removed, patted dry, cut in half
2 tablespoons chocolate fudge topping

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray.
2

Make and bake brownies as directed on box for cakelike brownies. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 hour.
3

In medium bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl frequently. Beat in pie filling and 1 1/2 cups of the whipped topping until blended. Spread over brownie.
4

In another medium bowl, beat dry pudding mixes and milk with whisk about 2 minutes or until thick. Beat in 1/2 cup of the whipped topping. Spread over cream cheese layer. Drop remaining 2 cups whipped topping by spoonfuls over pudding layer; carefully spread. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours.
5

When ready to serve, sprinkle nuts and cherries on top. In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate fudge topping uncovered on High 10 to 20 seconds or until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over top. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

tip 1
To quickly soften cream cheese, remove from wrapper, and place on microwavable plate; microwave uncovered on High about 15 seconds or just until softened.
tip 2
If desired, add a few drops of Betty Crocker™ Red Gel Food Color with the pie filling, for a pinker color.
tip 3
Use remaining cherry pie filling for an ice cream topping or another favorite dessert.
tip 4
Using a 3-quart glass baking dish makes a pretty presentation for this dessert.
