Description
This gooey brownie pie combines the fudgy decadence of a brownie with the buttery, flaky crust of a pie. It’s the ultimate chocolate dessert that’s surprisingly simple to make and perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (or homemade)
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: chopped nuts, sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Fit pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp edges. Chill in fridge while preparing filling.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract to butter-sugar mixture. Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- In another bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pie crust, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until edges are set but center is still slightly jiggly.
- Let cool on wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. The filling will continue to set as it cools.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter. The key to gooey texture is pulling the pie out when slightly underbaked—center should have a slight wobble. Chilling the crust prevents shrinking. Let pie cool for at least 30 minutes to allow filling to set properly.
