Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 6 Tablespoons butter
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • Hot fudge sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pie plate or a 9-inch springform pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a heat-safe bowl, melt the butter together with 2 cups of the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth. Use a double boiler for gentle heating or microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until light, fluffy, and pale in color, about 3 minutes.
  4. Combine Chocolate and Egg Mixture: Gently mix the cooled melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt carefully until just combined, making sure not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  6. Stir in Remaining Chocolate Chips: Mix in the remaining 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes until the center is puffed and the top develops a crackly crust.
  8. Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack to set the gooey texture.
  9. Add Topping and Serve: Just before serving, drizzle or spread hot fudge sauce over the top for an extra indulgent chocolate finish. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Recipe adapted from Food Network.
  • If using a pie plate, consider using only about 3/4 of the batter, as the batter can overflow.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before adding hot fudge to prevent it from melting and running excessively.
