Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams bittersweet chocolate (chopped)
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar (packed)
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 30 grams all-purpose flour
- 15 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams walnuts (chopped)
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and chopped chocolate over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until well combined.
Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the chocolate mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and mix until evenly distributed.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is slightly cracked.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
