Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish/Optional:
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Melt 1 cup unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat at 200°F, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Add 2 cups granulated sugar to the melted butter, mixing until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
- Whisk 4 large eggs into the butter-sugar mixture, incorporating them one at a time until fully blended.
- Sift 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon salt together in a separate bowl.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, ensuring no lumps remain in your batter.
- Stir 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the brownie mixture.
- Grease a 9-inch pie pan thoroughly with butter, making sure to cover all surfaces.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle ½ cup chopped walnuts across the top of the batter if desired.
- Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, checking that the edges are set but the center remains slightly gooey.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool in the pan for exactly 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Achieve the perfect gooey texture by removing the pie from the oven when the edges are set but the center still looks slightly underdone.
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate and mix it into the melted butter before adding sugar.
- If avoiding gluten, swap the traditional pie crust for a gluten-free version made with almond flour or graham cracker crumbs.
- Enhance the chocolatey experience by topping your slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a sprinkle of sea salt.
