Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Unsalted Butter | 6 tablespoons |
| Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips | 3 cups (divided: 2 cups + 1 cup) |
| Large Eggs | 3 |
| Granulated Sugar | 1 cup |
| Vanilla Extract | 1 teaspoon |
| All-Purpose Flour | 1/2 cup |
| Baking Powder | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Hot Fudge Sauce | For serving |
Instructions:
- Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Melt butter and chocolate (part 1): In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and 2 cups of the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Beat eggs and sugar: In a large bowl, using a hand mixer on medium-high speed, beat the large eggs and granulated sugar together for 3 minutes until the mixture is light in color and slightly thickened.
- Add vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Incorporate melted chocolate: With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the slightly cooled melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until it is fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Fold in dry ingredients: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt just until they are combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in remaining chocolate chips: Gently fold in the remaining 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter.
- Pour into pan: Pour the prepared brownie batter evenly into the greased pie plate or springform pan.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. The edges of the pie will be set, the center will be puffed up, and the top will have a crackly appearance. The center will still be quite jiggly when you gently shake the pan.
- Cool completely: Remove the brownie pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. This is crucial for the gooey center to set slightly.
- Slice and serve: Once cooled, slice the gooey brownie pie into wedges and serve immediately with warm hot fudge sauce drizzled over the top. Enjoy this rich and decadent dessert!
