This Gooey Brownie Pie is a decadent dessert combining the fudgy richness of brownies with the classic pie form.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 Tablespoons butter
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)
  • 3 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 Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a pie plate or a 9-inch springform pan thoroughly to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: Combine the butter and 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl. Melt together until smooth using either a double boiler or microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals. Stir until fully combined and then let it cool to avoid cooking the eggs in the next steps.
  3. Beat Eggs, Sugar, and Vanilla: Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, incorporating air for a nice texture.
  4. Combine Chocolate Mixture: Pour the cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the beaten eggs and sugar. Mix gently until fully incorporated, ensuring that the temperature of the chocolate doesn’t scramble the eggs.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients and Chocolate Chips: Fold in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt carefully until just combined to keep the batter light. Then mix in the remaining 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center has puffed up and the top is slightly cracked but still gooey inside.
  7. Cool Completely: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. This helps the gooey texture set properly for serving.
  8. Serve with Hot Fudge: For extra indulgence, top the cooled brownie pie with hot fudge sauce before serving. This adds a rich, creamy layer enhancing the gooey nature of the pie.

Notes

  • The pie is best served cooled completely to get the signature gooey texture.
  • You can melt the butter and chocolate using a double boiler for better temperature control to avoid burning.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dessert, consider reducing the sugar slightly.
  • Adding a pinch of espresso powder to the chocolate melt can enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • A 9-inch springform pan makes it easier to remove the pie without damage.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
