Ingredients

US Customary - Metric
  • 1 9-inch unbaked Pie Crust Purchased or Homemade
  • 1 ¼ cups Granulated Sugar
  • ¾ cup Unsalted Butter softened to room temperature
  • 2 Eggs
  • ¼ cup All Purpose Flour
  • ⅓ cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 °F and grease your pie dish.
  • Lay crust into a pie plate and flute or crimp the edges.
  • Beat the sugar and butter in you bowl with a hand mixer, then beat in the eggs and vanilla, then beat in the dry ingredients, except for the chocolate chips.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
  • Bake for at least 30 minutes, up to 35 minutes. It will have a crinkly top and melty inside when done.
  • Let cool slightly, or up to 20-30 minutes, before cutting and serving.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Don't overbake — the center should still be slightly soft when you pull it from the oven. It will firm up as it cools.
  • If the edges of your crust start to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with strips of foil.
  • Room temperature butter and eggs mix together much more smoothly and give you the best texture.
To store, cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3–5 days. The filling firms up even more when chilled, which some people love!
To freeze, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and then in foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or on the counter for a couple of hours.
