Step-by-Step Instructions
Making this Gooey Brownie Pie is a delightful experience that fills your kitchen with rich aromas. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Next, I start by melting the butter and chocolate chips together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and shiny. This step is where that heavenly chocolate aroma begins to fill my home. Once melted, take it off the heat and let it cool slightly. After that, in a mixing bowl, I whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until creamy and combined. The color should be light and fluffy!
Now, it’s time to combine the two mixtures. I gently fold the melted chocolate and butter into the egg mixture, making sure everything is incorporated but not overmixing—this delicate balance is key to achieving that gooey texture! Then, I add in the flour and salt, folding until just combined. The batter should be thick, glossy, and oh-so-inviting. At this stage, I like to pour the batter into the pre-prepared pie crust. It looks absolutely irresistible! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
