1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
→ Sweet & Structure Builders
04 -
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 tsp espresso powder (optional, for deeper chocolate flavor)
→ Irresistible Gooeyness

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish. This initial step ensures your Gooey Brownie Pie: Rich, Fudgy & Irresistible bakes evenly and releases easily, setting the stage for a perfect dessert.
02 -
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 4 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. This creates the rich, fudgy foundation for your irresistible brownie pie.
03 -
Whisk 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture. Add 3 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1 tsp espresso powder (if using), whisking until well combined and glossy.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
05 -
Gently fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips into the brownie batter. Pour the luscious batter into your prepared 9-inch pie dish. This step adds the "gooeyness" that makes this Gooey Brownie Pie: Rich, Fudgy & Irresistible truly special.
06 -
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted near the edge should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. This ensures a perfectly fudgy texture.
07 -
Let the Gooey Brownie Pie: Rich, Fudgy & Irresistible cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows it to set properly, ensuring clean slices and maximum gooeyness.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra decadent treat, serve warm slices with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
02 -
Store leftover brownie pie covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave for ultimate gooeyness.
03 -
Feel free to swap semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
04 -
The optional espresso powder doesn't make the pie taste like coffee, but it significantly deepens and enhances the chocolate flavor. Don't skip it if you love rich chocolate!
