- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Prepare the Sugar and Egg Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Mixtures:
- Gradually stir the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture.
Add Dry Ingredients:
- Stir in the flour and salt, mixing until just incorporated.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts, if using.
Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the batter into the unbaked pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft.
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the pie and let it firm up while cooling.
- Swap walnuts for pecans or omit them for a nut-free version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
