Ingredients (Serves 8-10):
For the Pie Crust:
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2-3 tablespoons ice water
For the Brownie Filling:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon **baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra gooeyness)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pie Crust:
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the egg yolk and enough ice water to form a dough. Do not overwork the dough.
- Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Roll Out the Pie Crust:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish, trimming any excess and pressing the dough into the edges.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
4. Prepare the Brownie Filling:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
- Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
5. Assemble and Bake:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. The pie should still be slightly gooey in the center.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. The pie will continue to set as it cools.
6. Serve:
- Cut into slices and serve as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips for Success:
- Don’t overbake: For the gooey texture, be sure not to overbake the pie. It should still have a slight jiggle in the center when you remove it from the oven.
- Cool completely: Allow the pie to cool fully to help it set properly before slicing.
- Chill the crust: Chilling the pie crust before baking helps to prevent shrinkage and ensures a nice, flaky texture.
Recommendations:
Pair this decadent Gooey Brownie Pie Delight with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra touch of sweetness. It’s a perfect dessert for chocolate lovers and ideal for any occasion that calls for a rich and satisfying treat.
