Description
This rich chocolate brownie pie is gooey, fudgy, and perfect for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips or chunks
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan well and set aside. Tip: Greasing the sides generously helps the soft edges release cleanly after baking.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together over low heat, stirring until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Tip: Letting the mixture cool prevents the eggs from cooking too quickly.
- Add Sugars: Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until thick and shiny. Tip: Proper mixing at this stage supports the crackly top.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Tip: Room-temperature eggs blend more smoothly and improve texture.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt just until combined. Tip: Stop mixing as soon as no dry streaks remain to keep the center soft.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks evenly throughout the batter. Tip: These melt during baking and create gooey pockets.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly. Tip: A soft center means the pie will stay molten after resting.
- Rest and Serve: Let the brownie pie cool for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with chocolate sauce if desired. Tip: Resting allows the structure to settle while keeping the center gooey.

- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
