Ingredients
Scale
Pie Base:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (95 g) all-purpose flour
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring (liquid or gel)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Garnish:
- Cream cheese frosting
- Powdered sugar
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position a 9-inch pie crust in your pie dish, ensuring it’s evenly settled.
- Melt ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar until the mixture looks glossy and smooth.
- Crack 2 large eggs into the butter-sugar mixture, incorporating them one at a time. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon red food coloring, and 1 teaspoon white vinegar.
- Sift ¾ cup (95 g) all-purpose flour and ¼ teaspoon salt into the wet ingredients. Fold gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Transfer the batter into your prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Slide the pie into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The center should look set but still slightly soft when gently touched.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely for at least 1 hour, allowing it to firm up.
- Decorate by dusting with powdered sugar or spreading cream cheese frosting. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Room temperature ingredients ensure smooth, even mixing and help create a consistent texture in your brownie pie.
- Check the pie early to prevent overbaking, which can dry out the rich, fudgy center and make the dessert tough.
- Gluten-free flour works perfectly as a direct swap if someone needs a wheat-free version of this decadent treat.
- Cool the pie completely before cutting to help the structure set and prevent crumbling, giving clean, beautiful slices.
