Decadent Gooey Brownie Pie Indulgence

Biting into this ooey-gooey brownie pie is something else. The chocolate hits hard, it's so fudgy, and you get just the right kick of sweet. But the best part? You toss it all into a pie dish, so it’s great for sharing. I break this one out whenever buddies stop over—it gives off rustic cozy vibes but still feels a little fancy. People always lose their minds over it.

Last month, I threw this brownie pie together for family game night. By the time the night ended, the whole thing had vanished. The middle was gone before I knew it, and now everyone in my crew begs for it on every celebration.

Ingredients List

• Chocolate chips: these chunks get all melty inside and turn every bite into a chocolate explosion try dark or semi-sweet if you want more richness
• Salt: gives the chocolate flavor a little boost and keeps the pie from tasting too sugary a tiny shake is all you need
• Cocoa powder: brings out that deep chocolate punch choose unsweetened for an extra bold treat
• All-purpose flour: gives the pie some structure but still lets it stay super soft don’t pack your flour too tightly to keep it light
• Vanilla extract: makes everything smell incredible and really brings out those chocolatey notes pure vanilla is best if you have it
• Large eggs: hold everything together and make the texture just right use the freshest eggs for extra fluff
• Granulated sugar: for sweetness and that shiny crust fine-grain white sugar mixes in easiest
• Unsalted butter: melts in for a rich, decadent bite grab a quality butter if you want the best flavor

Delicious Step-by-Step Guide

Let It Cool and Slice:

Set the pie aside for about 20 minutes so it can firm up. Slicing is way simpler that way. Add a scoop of your favorite ice cream if you’re feeling fancy.

Bake and Pour:

Scrape the batter into a greased pie pan, smoothing out the top. Toss it in a 350°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes. You want the edges set and the middle a little wobbly—a toothpick near the side should come out with moist crumbs, not goopy batter.

Fold in Those Chips:

Now dump in those chocolate chips and gently stir so they stay scattered through the batter. This is what gives you melty pockets all over.

Mix in Dry Stuff:

Pour the flour, cocoa, and salt blend into your wet bowl slowly. Stir just until it’s all one color—don’t go crazy or your pie gets tough.

Dry Mix Time:

Stir together your flour, salt, and cocoa in a separate bowl. Doing this keeps your batter from getting bits of dry stuff stuck in one bite.

Add Vanilla and Eggs:

Once your butter-sugar mix isn’t too hot, beat in the eggs one-by-one, mixing well. Everything should look thick and glossy. Drizzle in the vanilla and give it a final stir.

Sugar + Butter Combo:

While the butter’s warm, dump in your sugar and keep stirring until it looks shiny and most of the sugar is gone.

Butter Meltdown:

Pop the butter in a small pot on low heat. Melt it gently—you want it smooth, not brown or burnt, since it makes the base rich.

Melted chocolate chips make these dreamy puddles in every slice. When I first baked this up, my youngest helped dump the chips on. Now, we make it our thing for every party we throw together.

Storage Hacks

If you want it to taste just-baked, let the pie cool off totally and cover it up tight on the counter for up to two days. For more time, wrap in foil and pop it in the fridge for up to five. Want it warm again? Zap a single piece in the microwave for like ten seconds.

Swap Ideas

Mix up your chocolate chips with chunks of dark chocolate bar or even white chocolate to shake things up. Going non-dairy? Try vegan butter and plant-based chocolate chips—the texture’s a bit different but still tasty. For gluten issues, use a one-to-one gluten-free flour blend.

Ways to Serve

Nothing beats a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting all over a warm brownie pie slice. Feeling a little extra? Pour over a splash of espresso or sprinkle a bit of flaky sea salt before digging in. Whipped cream or fresh berries work great when you’ve got a crowd.
