Scale
Brownie Pie Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- â…“ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 pre-made or homemade 9-inch pie crust (unbaked)
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Ice cream
- Chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set 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 becomes smooth and well combined to form the base of the batter.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the butter mixture, whisking thoroughly until fully blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and without lumps, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill Pie Crust: Pour the prepared brownie batter into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula for a smooth surface.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is set but the center remains slightly gooey to maintain that luscious texture.
- Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 to 20 minutes; this allows it to set slightly for easier slicing.
- Serve: Slice and serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or chocolate sauce to enhance flavor and richness.
Notes
- For extra gooeyness, bake slightly less than the suggested time and serve the pie warm.
- Try swirling peanut butter, caramel, or crushed nuts into the batter before baking for additional texture and flavor variety.
- Store leftover pie at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
