Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips divided (2 cups + 1 cup)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Hot fudge sauce for serving, optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat & Prep
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. This ensures the brownie pie will release easily once baked.
  3. Melt Butter and Chocolate
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 6 Tbsp of unsalted butter with 2 cups of chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until completely smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly so it won't cook the eggs when combined.
  5. Whip Eggs & Sugar
  6. In a separate bowl, beat the 3 large eggs, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract on medium-high speed for approximately 3 minutes. The mixture should become pale and fluffy, which creates the perfect base for your brownie pie.
  7. Combine Mixtures
  8. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually pour the warm chocolate mixture into the egg blend. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix or scramble the eggs.
  9. Add Dry Ingredients
  10. Gently fold in the ½ cup of all-purpose flour, ¼ tsp of baking powder, and ¼ tsp of salt until just integrated. The minimal mixing preserves the gooey texture of the final product.
  11. Stir in Extra Chocolate
  12. Fold in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter. These will create pockets of melted chocolate in the finished brownie pie.
  13. Bake
  14. Pour the batter into your prepared pie plate. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle when the pan is moved. This ensures the perfect gooey center.
  15. Cool & Serve
  16. Allow the brownie pie to cool completely for the best slicing texture. Serve slightly warmed or at room temperature, drizzled with hot fudge sauce and topped with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • For an extra-rich version, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • The brownie pie will continue to set as it cools, so avoid overbaking.
  • Store leftovers at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
  • You can reheat individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to restore the gooey texture.
  • For a delightful contrast, serve with vanilla ice cream to balance the rich chocolate flavor.
