Ingredients:

  • 6 Tbsp butter
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pie plate or a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Melt the Chocolate & Butter:
    In a heat-safe bowl, melt together 6 tablespoons butter and 2 cups chocolate chips until smooth. You can use a double boiler or microwave this at 50% power in 30-second intervals. Stir between intervals and let the mixture cool.
  3. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
    In an electric mixer, beat 3 eggs, 1 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Combine the Mixtures:
    Slowly mix in the cooled chocolate mixture with the egg mixture until fully combined.
  5. Fold in Dry Ingredients:
    Fold in 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until just combined. Stir in the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips.
  6. Bake the Pie:
    Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the center is puffed up, and the top forms a crackly layer.
  7. Cool & Serve:
    Let the brownie pie cool completely. For an extra indulgent treat, top with hot fudge when serving.

Tips:

  • Melting Chocolate: Be cautious when melting the chocolate to prevent burning.

frequently and use low heat if you’re melting on the stovetop or microwave. If using the microwave, stick to 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring in between.

  • Check Doneness: The pie will be puffed and cracked on top when done, but the inside should still be fudgy. Use a toothpick test – it should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  • Serve Warm: For a gooey texture, serve the brownie pie warm. You can reheat slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to get that fudgy center again.
  • Toppings: Hot fudge, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream pair perfectly with this brownie pie for an added touch of decadence.
