Ingredients
Scale
Pie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Vanilla ice cream
- Chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth and evenly mixed.
- Pour and Spread: Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish and spread it evenly for consistent baking.
- Bake: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, checking that the top is set but the center remains slightly gooey for that perfect fudgy texture. Avoid overbaking.
- Cool Slightly and Serve: Let the pie cool a bit before serving warm. Optionally, add whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or chocolate syrup on top for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave for 10–15 seconds per slice.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, add 1/2 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
