Preparation

Step 1

Make brownies according to the package directions. Spread in a greased 9x13 pan. Set aside.
Beat the cream cheese, butter, and cornstarch. Add the sweetened condensed milk, egg, and vanilla and beat again until creamy. Spoon very carefully onto the brownie batter.
Take 1 cup pie filling and drop gently by spoonfuls on the cheesecake layer. Swirl very carefully with a knife. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Cool on the counter for 1 hour. Place in the refrigerator until chilled through.
Cut into 24 squares. Place the chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for one minute. Stir until creamy. Spoon into a plastic baggie and cut one tip off. Drizzle over the squares. Let set. Serve with Cool Whip and extra pie filling. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
