Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226 g) melted butter, cooled
- 1 cup (170 g) milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ½ cup (100 g) pure cane sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) pure cane dark brown sugar
- ½ cup (60 g) flour
- ½ cup (60 g) flour (for pie crust)
- ½ cup (112 g) vegetable shortening
- ½ cup (60 g) chopped walnuts
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla
- 1 tbsp (15 g) sugar
- 1/8 tsp (0.6 g) baking powder
- ½ tsp (2.5 g) salt
- ¼ cup (60 ml) cold water
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
Instructions
- Pie Crust Preparation: Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl, incorporating shortening with a fork until achieving a sandy consistency. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a unified dough forms.
- Dough Shaping: Generously flour a work surface, roll out the dough, and carefully transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, creating a smooth, even layer.
- Oven Preparation: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C), positioning a rimmed baking sheet on the lower rack to catch potential drips.
- Mixture Creation: Melt butter and allow to cool. Whisk eggs thoroughly in a large bowl, then blend in flour and sugars until smooth. Slowly incorporate cooled melted butter, ensuring complete integration.
- Ingredient Incorporation: Gently fold chocolate chips, walnuts, and vanilla extract into the liquid base, distributing evenly throughout the mixture.
- Baking Process: Pour the filling into the prepared pie shell, spreading uniformly. Bake for approximately one hour until the filling sets and develops a golden surface.
- Cooling and Serving: Remove from oven and let the pie rest for 30-60 minutes, allowing it to set and develop its signature gooey texture. Serve warm for maximum indulgence.
Notes
- Prevent Soggy Crust: Use cold ingredients and minimal handling when making pie dough to maintain flakiness and prevent toughness.
- Control Butter Overflow: Place a baking sheet underneath the pie to catch any potential drips and protect your oven from messy spills.
- Master Cooling Technique: Let the pie rest for at least 30 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set properly and develop rich, gooey texture.
- Temperature Matters: Serve slightly warm to experience the ultimate chocolate chip cookie pie experience with melted chocolate and soft, decadent filling.
