Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Dry Ingredients:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Crust and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Optional Toppings:
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare a 9-inch pie plate by gently draping the pie crust into the dish, creating decorative crimped edges for an elegant presentation.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients – sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt – whisking them together to ensure even distribution and eliminate any potential lumps.
- Incorporate the wet ingredients by adding melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract directly into the dry mixture, stirring thoroughly until a smooth, rich chocolate batter forms.
- Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly to create pockets of melted chocolate throughout the pie.
- Carefully transfer the brownie mixture into the prepared pie crust, using a spatula to spread it evenly and create a uniform surface.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a set perimeter with a slightly jiggly center – this ensures a decadent, gooey texture.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes, giving the filling time to set and develop its rich, fudgy consistency.
- Before serving, dust the surface with a delicate layer of powdered sugar and consider accompanying the pie with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream for an indulgent finishing touch.
Notes
- Cool this decadent dessert completely before slicing to prevent crumbling and maintain its luxurious texture.
- Refrigerate leftover pie slices in an airtight container for up to 3 days, ensuring maximum freshness and gooey goodness.
- Enhance the brownie pie’s richness by serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of warm chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent experience.
