Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade, if preferred)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for extra gooeyness)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set it aside.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until fully combined.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until just combined. The batter should be thick and glossy.
- Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for extra gooeyness.
- Pour the Batter into the Pie Crust: Carefully pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set, but the center remains slightly gooey when tested with a toothpick.
- Cool: Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. The center will continue to set as it cools but will stay gooey.
- Serve: Slice and serve warm with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for a nutty variation.
- Swirl in 1/4 cup of peanut butter or drizzle caramel sauce for a fun twist.
- Serve with a scoop of your favorite ice cream for extra indulgence.
