How This Recipe Comes Together

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips (divided)
3 large eggs (room temperature)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pie plate or a 9-inch springform pan and set it aside.
In a heat-safe bowl, melt the butter with 2 cups of the chocolate chips until smooth. You can use a double boiler or microwave at 50 percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
Slowly mix in the cooled melted chocolate until fully combined.
Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center is puffed but still soft.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain or topped with warm hot fudge for an extra treat.

How to Serve Gooey Brownie Pie

This pie is seriously delicious on its own, but you can elevate it by serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Drizzling some hot fudge or caramel sauce on top makes it even more tempting. For a little crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts on top before serving.

How to Store Gooey Brownie Pie

If you have leftovers—though that’s unlikely—store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. To keep it fresh for a longer time, you can refrigerate it, where it will last about a week. You can also freeze individual slices for a treat later on. Just wrap them securely and place them in a freezer-safe container.

Tips to Make Gooey Brownie Pie

Make sure your eggs are at room temperature as this helps to create a light and fluffy batter.
Don’t skip the cooling step after melting the chocolate; adding hot chocolate to eggs can scramble them.
To test if the pie is done, insert a toothpick in the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.

FAQs

Can I use dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet?

Absolutely! Dark chocolate chips will give your brownie pie a richer flavor. Just keep in mind that it will be less sweet.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the brownie pie a day in advance. Just keep it covered at room temperature. The flavors can even deepen overnight!

What can I do if my pie cracks on top?

Cracks can sometimes happen, but they don’t affect the taste! You can cover any imperfections with a nice layer of fudge or whipped cream before serving.
