Ingredients
Scale
Pie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Vanilla ice cream
- Chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth mixture.
- Incorporate dry ingredients: Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is fully combined and smooth.
- Bake the pie: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pie dish. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the pie’s top is set while the center remains slightly gooey. Avoid overbaking to maintain the fudgy texture.
- Cool and serve: Let the pie cool slightly before serving warm. It is best enjoyed with optional toppings like whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave for 10–15 seconds per slice.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, add 1/2 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
