Gooey Brownie Pie is a decadent dessert that combines the rich, fudgy texture of brownies with the flaky, buttery crust of a pie, creating an indulgent chocolate treat perfect for any chocolate lover.

Ingredients

  • 1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra gooeyness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Sift together the cocoa powder, salt, and flour, then gradually fold them into the wet mixture until fully combined.
  5. If using, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra gooey texture.
  6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft—this ensures the gooey texture.
  8. Let the pie cool completely before slicing. The center will firm up slightly as it cools but remain deliciously gooey.

Notes

  • Swapping some cocoa powder for espresso powder intensifies chocolate flavor.
  • Adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans adds crunch.
  • Use a chocolate cookie crust instead of traditional pie crust for more chocolate depth.
  • Drizzle caramel sauce on top before serving for a sweet contrast.
  • Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top before baking for a festive twist.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated for 5 days.
  • Reheat slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to restore gooeyness.
  • Freeze wrapped tightly for up to 3 months; thaw overnight before serving.
