How to Make Gooey Brownie Pie:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add 2 cups of the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until fully melted and smooth.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Combine with Chocolate: Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring to combine.
Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Add Remaining Chocolate Chips: Stir in the remaining 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Prepare the Pie Crust: If using a store-bought pie crust, place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set, but the center remains soft and slightly gooey. You can check doneness by inserting a toothpick—if it comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs, the pie is ready.
Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool slightly before serving. Top with a drizzle of hot fudge sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
Enjoy your Gooey Brownie Pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or just dive right in with a fork and savor the chocolate goodness!
