Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 pre-made or homemade 9-inch pie crust (unbaked)
Brownie Filling
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional Toppings
- Vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the brownie pie.
- Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack in the eggs and pour in the vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and uniform in texture.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder just until all the ingredients are combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter to evenly distribute delightful pockets of melted chocolate throughout the pie.
- Fill Pie Crust: Pour the prepared brownie batter into the unbaked pie crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
- Bake: Place the pie into the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The pie is done when the center is set but still slightly gooey, ensuring a fudgy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes to let it set. Serve warm with optional toppings like a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For an extra fudgy texture, underbake the pie slightly and allow it to finish setting as it cools.
- Try a graham cracker or Oreo crust for a delicious twist on the traditional pie crust.
- Store any leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
