Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined.
- Add the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter evenly into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center will remain soft and fudgy.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving warm.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For an old-fashioned version, you can use a pre-made graham cracker crust instead of a traditional pastry crust.
- This pie is best served warm to achieve the molten, gooey texture.
- If you want a crispier top, sprinkle a small amount of coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
