Gooey Brownie Pie
A rich and decadent dessert that combines the best parts of brownies and pie for an irresistible chocolatey experience.
Ingredients
For the Pie
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips (divided) 2 cups for melting, 1 cup for folding in
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pie plate or a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
- In a heat-safe bowl, melt the butter with 2 cups of the chocolate chips until smooth using a double boiler or microwave at 50 percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, until pale and fluffy.
- Slowly mix in the cooled melted chocolate until fully incorporated.
- 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.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the edges are set and the center is puffed but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing.
