Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans recommended)
  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients, allowing it to cool slightly before mixing.
  4. Crack the eggs into the bowl and add the vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and well combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. If using, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Grease a 9-inch pie pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pie pan, spreading it evenly.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness at the 25-minute mark. The edges should be set, while the center remains slightly jiggly.
  10. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
  11. Slice the pie into wedges once it has cooled slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  12. Top each slice with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious contrast.
  13. For an extra treat, drizzle hot fudge sauce over the top.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Reheat slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to restore gooeyness.
  • For longer storage, wrap the pie tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
  • Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as white or dark chocolate.
  • For a minty twist, consider adding mint chocolate chips or a splash of peppermint extract.
