Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- optional optional toppings: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
Add the vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix well.
Slowly stir the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully blended, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Serve as is, or top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
