Recipe Ingredients:
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsley chopped
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
- 1 9-inch deep-dish pie crust
- powdered sugar, for garnish
How To Make Brownie Pie?
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Melt butter and chocolate: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate, stirring until smooth.
- Mix in sugar: Remove the pan from heat and whisk in the sugar until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl and let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Add eggs and dry ingredients: Whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the flour, vanilla extract, and salt until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and pecans: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the mixture into the prepared deep-dish pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the filling is just set and a crust forms on the surface.
- Cool: Allow the pie to cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
- Garnish and serve: Just before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Recipe Tips:
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: For the best flavor, use good-quality unsweetened chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips. This will enhance the richness of your brownie pie.
- Don’t Overmix the Batter: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined to avoid a dense or tough texture.
- Pre-Bake the Pie Crust: If you prefer a crispier crust, lightly pre-bake it for 5-7 minutes before adding the filling.
- Check Doneness Carefully: Insert a toothpick near the center—if it comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter), it’s ready. Avoid overbaking to keep it fudgy.
- Cool Completely Before Slicing: Let the pie cool fully to room temperature before cutting; this helps the filling set and ensures clean slices.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Brownie Pie cool to room temperature. Then, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or foil and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Allow the Brownie Pie to cool completely before wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, transfer it to the refrigerator overnight before serving.
