Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans recommended)
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well blended.
- Pour in the melted butter, followed by the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until the batter is smooth and glossy, with a few lumps remaining.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
- Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The edges should be set, while the center remains soft and fudgy. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool in the dish for 10-15 minutes to set.
- Once slightly cooled, slice the pie into wedges using a sharp knife.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce or sprinkle extra chocolate chips and nuts for added flavor and presentation.
- If there are leftovers, let the pie cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before serving.
- For longer storage, slice the pie into wedges, wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap, and place in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as needed.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- Ensure the center remains soft and slightly gooey for the perfect texture.
