Ingredients
- For the base:
-
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- For the brownie filling:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate, or a mix)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a store-bought pie crust, ensure it’s already in a 9-inch pie dish.
- Prepare the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated. The batter should be thick but smooth.
- Add the chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Pour into the crust: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft and gooey. Check with a toothpick—if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, it’s ready. If it’s clean, it may be overbaked.
- Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
