Gooey Brownie Pie
A fudgy chocolate brownie with a crackly top, baked in a pie pan and finished with hot fudge—an easy treat for anyone who loves chocolate.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
- 3 1/4 cups (20 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 extra-large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Hot fudge or chocolate sauce, for serving
Steps
- Melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth, then cool briefly so the mixture won’t cook the eggs when combined.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla about 3 minutes until very pale and airy.
- Stream in the cooled chocolate and mix until blended.
- Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt just until incorporated, then stir in the remaining chocolate chips.
- Pour into a prepared springform pan. A pie plate or cake pan works too, but you’ll only need about 3/4 of the batter—the mixture rises, and tall springform sides help contain it.
- Bake at 350°F for 40–45 minutes until puffed and a tester shows moist crumbs. Cool before slicing.
- Serve with chocolate sauce or hot fudge on top.
