These Pumpkin Brownies are about to blow your mind and become your new favorite pumpkin dessert! They aren't pumpkin brownies from scratch, but because of how they are made, they are a million times better! Easy and delicious, does it get any better than that?
Ingredients
For Brownie Layer
- Your favorite brownie recipe or box
For Pumpkin Cream Layer
- 8 ounces butter room temperature
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
For Chocolate Layer
- 8 ounces butter
- 6 ounces chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate, but dark chocolate would work as well)
Instructions
- After you have cooked your brownies according to the recipe or the box (you are looking for a family size or 9 by 13 inch pan sized recipe here - I used Betty Crocker's Fudge Brownies). Let them cool completely. Look at the post for tips and tricks on how to speed this process up.
Pumpkin Cream Layer
- Beat together your butter, pumpkin, milk, powdered sugar and pumpkin spice until completely smooth. Spread it over the cooled brownies and let it sit in the refrigerator for a half hour.
Chocolate Layer
- In a microwave save bowl, combine the chocolate chips and the butter. It might help a little to cut the butter up first. Microwave for 1 minute at half power. Stir as much as possible and then continue microwaving for 30 second intervals whisking heavily with a fork in between until it is smooth. Make sure not to over cook the chocolate. My mixture cooked for a total of one minute and thirty seconds.
- Pour the chocolate over the pumpkin cream layer and move the pan around to fully spread it.
- Put it in the refrigerator and allow it to completely cool and harden.
- Cut up the brownies and store them in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.

I made these cookies a few days ago . Delicious the first day but tasted even better the next day! Took the them to Thanksgiving dinner at my son’s house and everyone loved them.
Just one comment on size of spoonful – 1 inch balls makes small cookies -made a lot more than 24 so I did some balls with larger amounts for the last tray and they came out bigger and looking awesome.
This is going to be one of my favorites all year long !
I have been trying your other recipes and they are all great! not a fail in any of them – Thanks so much for the great ideas too !
Thanks Pat!
