- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- For the Brownie Layer:
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- Egg Whites from 2 eggs
- 1 cup canned pure Pumpkin ( not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 cup chocolate chips, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 1/4 flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Caramel sauce and ice cream of choice ( I used vanilla bean)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a large cast iron skillet with non-stick spray or olive oil spray.
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup Sugar until smooth. Add egg white from 1 egg and continue to beat. Add 3/4 cup pumpkin puree, 2 teaspoon vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until very smooth. Set aside. This is the pumpkin layer.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well incorporated. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, beat 1/2 cup Sugar, egg white from 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla, oil, melted chocolate, and 1 cup pumpkin puree. Beat until totally smooth and incorporated.
- Slowly add the flour mixture and continue to beat until smooth. Finally, add the buttermilk and mix until combined and smooth. This is the brownie layer.
- Pour the brownie mixture into the skillet and smooth out with a spatula. Top with the pumpkin layer. Using a knife, swirl the pumpkin mixture into the brownie mixture to get a pretty swirl effect. I went through the mixture a few times with my knife.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes
- Let cool for about 20 minutes, cut a pie sized piece and top with warm caramel sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
