Ingredients

(Makes one 9-inch brownie pie | Serves 8)

• 6 tablespoons butter
• 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt

---

Optional Toppings:

• Warm hot fudge sauce
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• A sprinkle of flaky sea salt or powdered sugar

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat and Prep

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan and set aside.

2️⃣ Melt the Chocolate

• In a heat-safe bowl, melt 6 Tbsp butter with 2 cups of chocolate chips.
  • Use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts at 50% power, stirring between each.
• Let the mixture cool slightly while you prepare the batter.

3️⃣ Whip the Eggs and Sugar

• In a stand mixer (or using hand beaters), beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, until thick, pale, and fluffy.

4️⃣ Combine the Chocolate and Dry Ingredients

• Gently mix the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs and sugar.
• Fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt just until combined — don’t overmix!
• Stir in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips.

5️⃣ Bake to Fudgy Perfection

• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
• Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is puffed, and the top develops a slight crackly crust. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).

6️⃣ Cool and Serve

• Let the brownie pie cool completely in the pan — this allows the gooey center to set.
• Drizzle with hot fudge sauce just before serving for that over-the-top indulgence.
