Perfect for serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce, this pie is a decadent showstopper for any occasion. Whether it’s for a dinner party or a cozy night in, this indulgent treat will have everyone coming back for seconds.
Ingredients:
-
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
-
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
-
1 cup brown sugar, packed
-
4 large eggs, room temperature
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
½ tsp salt
-
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
-
Melt Butter & Chocolate: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the chocolate chips until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and slightly thickened.
-
Combine: Slowly stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
-
Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold until just combined—do not overmix.
-
Add Nuts (Optional): If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
-
Fill & Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
-
Cool & Serve: Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tip: For an extra gooey center, slightly underbake and allow the pie to rest before slicing so it holds together but stays soft inside.
If you want, I can also give you a salted caramel drizzle version that makes this pie even more irresistible.
