Ingredients:

• 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a saucepan, melt the butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together until well combined. Slowly add the cooled chocolate mixture and stir until smooth.
5. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or chunks for extra chocolatey goodness.
6. Pour and Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.

Enjoy your delicious Brownie Pie!
