Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional; pecans or walnuts)
Baking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crust:
- 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (or homemade if preferred)
Instructions
- Prepare the pie dish by positioning a 9-inch pie crust in the container, ensuring it fits smoothly and evenly against the edges.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), creating the optimal temperature for baking the dessert.
- Create the filling mixture by whisking together brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until the consistency becomes smooth and well-integrated.
- Incorporate chocolate chips and chopped nuts into the blended mixture, distributing them evenly throughout the filling.
- Carefully transfer the prepared filling into the pie crust, using a spatula to spread the mixture uniformly and prevent air pockets.
- Position the pie in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, monitoring the surface for a golden-brown color and checking the center’s firmness.
- Verify the pie’s doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge with minimal crumbs or clean.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest and cool for 15-20 minutes, which helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.
- Serve the pie at room temperature, optionally accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an enhanced dessert experience.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for smoother, more even mixing and better pie texture.
- Prevent chocolate chips from sinking by tossing them in a tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Consider toasting nuts before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and provide extra crunch to the pie.
