Here’s a decadent Gooey Brownie Pie recipe—rich, fudgy, and slightly underbaked in the center for that irresistible gooey texture 🍫🥧
Gooey Brownie Pie
Ingredients (for 8-inch pie, serves 6–8)
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter
- 8 oz (225 g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (95 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional mix-ins: ½ cup chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or caramel bits
Instructions
1. Prep the pan
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease an 8-inch pie dish or line with parchment paper.
2. Melt chocolate and butter
- In a heatproof bowl over simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second bursts), melt butter and chocolate together until smooth.
3. Mix sugars and eggs
- Remove from heat. Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
4. Fold in dry ingredients
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gently fold into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
- Fold in any optional mix-ins.
5. Bake
- Pour batter into prepared pie dish. Smooth the top.
- Bake 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Tip: For extra gooeyness, bake closer to 25 minutes and let it cool in the pan.
6. Cool and serve
- Allow to cool slightly (10–15 minutes) before slicing.
- Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel/chocolate sauce.
Tips for Extra Gooey Brownie Pie
- Underbake slightly: The center continues to set as it cools.
- Use a glass pie dish: Glass retains heat and helps set edges while keeping the center soft.
- Add mix-ins strategically: Chocolate chunks or caramel pieces melt and add pockets of gooey richness.
- Serve warm: For the ultimate gooey experience, heat slices for 10 seconds in the microwave before serving.
