Swirled Creamy Fudge Pie

I love making the usual favorite desserts in this household, one of those being Hot Fudge Pie, but every now and then i like to experiment, change things up.

Get creative. 

For this particular dessert i took the hot fudge pie, and decided to add a cream cheese base and swirl to get the look you see here. I was immediately pleased with the look of the pie, but a little nervous about the taste.

Despite the fact that it was my first time swirling, and there's always things to improve on first tries, i felt this pie was a great addition to my dessert file and wanted to share. I hope you enjoy the creamy, fudgey flavor of the filling with the crisp, buttery and flaky pie crust.
