Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 125 grams chopped walnuts (or pecans)
- 1 piece prepared 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove the saucepan from heat as soon as the butter is melted and set it aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Pour the melted butter over the sugars and whisk until well combined and smooth.
Add the eggs to the bowl, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
Stir in the flour, salt, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (or pecans), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the filling mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. This will allow the filling to set properly.
Serve the pie warm or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
