Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 prepared 9-inch unbaked pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until completely smooth and combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and flour until evenly incorporated.
Add the eggs to the dry mixture one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
Gradually whisk in the buttermilk, followed by the vanilla extract and salt, ensuring the filling is smooth and well combined.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the filling while whisking continuously to avoid curdling.
Place the prepared 9-inch pie crust onto a baking sheet for easier handling. Then, pour the chocolate buttermilk filling into the crust.
Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but slightly wobbly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature, about 2 hours. This will ensure the filling sets properly.
Serve the pie at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa powder before serving.
