Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pie plate or a 9-inch springform pan thoroughly to ensure the brownie pie does not stick.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a heat-safe bowl, combine butter and 2 cups of the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Melt them together until smooth using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between intervals to avoid burning. Once melted and smooth, allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which helps to create a tender texture.
  4. Combine Chocolate Mixture: Gradually add the cooled melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and blend until fully incorporated.
  5. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the flour, baking powder, and salt into the chocolate-egg batter just until combined to maintain the light texture. Avoid over-mixing.
  6. Add Remaining Chocolate Chips: Stir in the remaining 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips to add gooey chocolate pockets throughout the pie.
  7. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. If using a pie plate, consider using about 3/4 of the batter to prevent overflow. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the center is puffed and the top may crack slightly – this indicates the perfect gooey texture inside.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the brownie pie from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan to set. For serving, top with hot fudge sauce for an extra indulgent chocolate experience.

Notes

  • When using a pie plate, use about 3/4 of the batter to avoid overfilling.
  • Melting the butter and chocolate slowly at medium power helps prevent burning and creates a smooth mixture.
  • Allow the melted chocolate to cool before mixing with eggs to avoid scrambling the eggs.
  • Letting the pie cool completely helps it set and makes slicing easier.
  • Adding hot fudge on top enhances richness but can be omitted for a lighter option.
