Ingredients
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Press the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
-
In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chocolate until smooth. Let cool slightly.
-
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.
-
Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
-
Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
-
Pour batter into prepared crust and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until edges are set and the center is still slightly gooey.
-
Cool for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing. Chill longer for cleaner cuts.
Notes
- Add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
- Swirl in peanut butter or caramel before baking for extra richness.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top for sweet-salty contrast.
- Add 1 tsp instant espresso powder for a mocha twist.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
