Pie Ingredients
- 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- â…› teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish to prevent sticking.
- Combine butter and sugar: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add eggs: Add the eggs one at a time into the butter and sugar mixture, whisking thoroughly after adding each egg to ensure a smooth batter.
- Mix dry ingredients: Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is fully combined and smooth.
- Pour and spread batter: Pour the prepared batter into the greased pie dish, spreading it evenly to create a uniform layer.
- Bake the pie: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is set but the center remains slightly gooey for that signature fudgy texture.
- Cool and serve: Let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- The pie is designed to be fudgy and rich in the center—avoid overbaking to maintain this texture.
- For an extra special touch, drizzle with chocolate syrup or sprinkle chopped nuts on top before serving.
