Description

Chocolate lovers will adore this rich Gooey Brownie Pie that blends intense fudge flavors with a flaky pastry crust. Chocolate and buttery pastry create a delightful dessert promising pure indulgence for everyone craving deep cocoa satisfaction.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) chocolate chips
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (120 ml) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200 g) sugar
  • ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • powdered sugar for dusting
  • vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F and delicately drape the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, creating elegant crimped edges for visual appeal.
  2. Dry Ingredient Fusion: Whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl, ensuring complete integration and eliminating potential lumps for a smooth chocolate base.
  3. Batter Creation: Blend melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients, stirring until a luxurious, velvety chocolate mixture emerges with consistent texture and depth of flavor.
  4. Chocolate Chip Integration: Carefully fold chocolate chips throughout the batter, ensuring even distribution for delightful molten chocolate pockets in every slice.
  5. Filling Transfer: Smoothly pour the brownie mixture into the prepared pie crust, using a spatula to create a perfectly level surface that promises uniform baking and rich chocolate experience.
  6. Baking Process: Bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring for a set perimeter with a slightly trembling center – the hallmark of a decadent, fudgy chocolate pie that promises an indulgent dessert experience.
  7. Cooling and Presentation: Allow the pie to rest on a wire rack for 30 minutes, enabling the filling to solidify and develop its signature dense, luxurious texture; finish by dusting with powdered sugar and optionally pairing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extraordinary dessert presentation.

Notes

  • Prepare Perfectly: Use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter and more consistent baking results.
  • Check Doneness Wisely: Test brownies with a toothpick – it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not completely clean, to maintain that coveted fudgy texture.
  • Prevent Soggy Crust: Blind bake the pie crust for 10 minutes before adding brownie filling to keep the bottom crisp and prevent soaking.
  • Serving Suggestion: Let the pie cool completely for cleaner slices and more defined chocolate layers, allowing flavors to intensify and settle.
