Ingredients
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Mix Sugars & Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually stir the melted chocolate into the sugar-egg mixture.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in flour and salt until just combined. Fold in walnuts, if using.
- Fill & Bake: Pour batter into the pie crust and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft.
- Cool & Serve: Let the pie cool before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Nut-Free: Skip the walnuts for an ultra-fudgy texture.
- Dark Chocolate Option: Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- Espresso Kick: Add ½ teaspoon espresso powder to enhance the chocolate depth.
