Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 170 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 80 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 120 grams Walnuts, chopped
- 1 9-inch Pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if desired. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips together, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter until no streaks remain.
Fold the chopped walnuts into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
