Chocolate Brownie Pie

What is it?

Built in the same rectangular, hand-held pastry format as McDonald’s Apple Pie, this UK menu item swaps fruit for a hot chocolate brownie filling. A crisp baked shell holds a dense, gooey centre that softens as it cools, so the texture sits between cake batter and set fudge. It’s served warm and eaten straight from the wrapper, with the filling tending to ooze a little when bitten. Like the Apple Pie, it’s part of McDonald’s recurring dessert line-up in the UK. The main difference is the filling: cocoa-heavy, sweet, and much more like a brownie than a slice of pie.
