Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (or homemade buttery crust)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust on a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined.
- Pour in the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter evenly into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center will still be soft and gooey, similar to a brownie.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
- Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For an old-fashioned variation, use a homemade crust made with extra butter for a flakier texture.
- To achieve a molten center, do not overbake. Check for doneness around the 30-minute mark.
- This pie tastes best when served warm, about 15 to 20 minutes after it comes out of the oven.
