Description
This Gooey Brownie Pie combines the rich, fudgy texture of a brownie with the classic appeal of a pie crust. With a molten chocolate center and crackly top, it’s a decadent dessert perfect for any chocolate lover.
Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter
- 4 ounces (113 g) unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (90 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (30 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Roll out and fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges if homemade; if store-bought, prepare per package instructions.
- Melt butter and unsweetened chocolate together in a heat-proof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in short bursts. Stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Stir in sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla; mix until smooth and glossy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Fold in chopped nuts for added texture.
- Add a teaspoon of espresso powder for enhanced chocolate flavor.
- Partially blind-bake the crust for 8–10 minutes to avoid sogginess.
- For a gluten-free version, use a GF flour blend and ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
