🛒 Ingredients
For the Pie:
🥧 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
🧈 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
🍫 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
🍬 1 cup granulated sugar
🥚 2 large eggs
🥄 1 tsp vanilla extract
🥣 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
🧂 1/4 tsp salt
Optional Toppings:
🍦 Vanilla ice cream
🍫 Chocolate or caramel sauce
🌰 Chopped walnuts or pecans
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges.
2️⃣ Melt the Chocolate:
In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate chips together until smooth. Let cool slightly.
3️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and the cooled chocolate mixture. Mix until combined.
4️⃣ Add Dry Ingredients:
Stir in flour and salt until just incorporated. Don’t overmix.
5️⃣ Assemble & Bake:
Pour the brownie batter into the pie crust. Smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
6️⃣ Cool & Serve:
Let cool for 10–15 minutes (if you can wait!), then slice and serve warm with a scoop of ice cream on top!
