Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups Molasses
- 0.75 cups Hot water
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 Egg
- 1 Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar.
Cut the butter into small cubes and cut it into the flour and sugar mixture using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 1/2 cup of this crumb mixture for the topping.
In another bowl, whisk the cocoa powder, molasses, hot water, and baking soda until well combined.
Add the egg to the liquid mixture and whisk until smooth.
Gradually stir the liquid mixture into the larger portion of the crumb mixture until fully incorporated. This will create the pie filling.
Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and pour the filling into the crust.
Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of crumbs evenly over the top of the filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. Enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream.
