Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ready pie crust
Chocolate Ingredients:
- 3 cups (525 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) butter
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350°F (175°C) and coat a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan with grease to prevent sticking.
- Create a smooth chocolate base by melting butter and chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave, heating in 30-second intervals at 50% power. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Using an electric mixer, whip eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until the mixture becomes light, airy, and forms soft peaks, approximately 3 minutes.
- Gently incorporate the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until completely integrated and uniform in color.
- Delicately fold flour, baking powder, and salt into the chocolate mixture, ensuring minimal stirring to maintain the mixture’s airiness. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, watching for a puffed center and potential surface cracking, which indicates proper doneness.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely at room temperature. Before serving, drizzle with hot fudge sauce for an extra decadent touch.
Notes
- Choose dark, high-quality chocolate for richer, more intense brownie pie flavor that elevates the entire dessert experience.
- Keep chocolate mixture warm but not hot when mixing with eggs to prevent scrambling and ensure smooth, creamy texture.
- Avoid overmixing batter after adding flour to maintain a tender, fudgy consistency that’s characteristic of perfect brownies.
- Consider using gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version without compromising the decadent chocolate taste and texture.
