Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 3 units large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 100 grams walnuts, chopped
- 1 unit pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges if desired. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Stir in the melted butter until smooth and combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly gooey.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.
Slice and enjoy as is, or serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
