Ingredients

  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked deep-dish pie crust
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (60% cacao), finely chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs , room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all -purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup semi -sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges; chill in the freezer for 10 minutes while preparing the filling.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the cubed butter and chopped bittersweet chocolate. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until the mixture is light, aerated, and slightly pale (about 2 to 3 minutes).
  • Stir the vanilla extract and the cooled melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture until fully incorporated.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt over the wet ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter until no streaks of flour remain.
  • Fold in 3/4 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the chilled pie crust, spreading it evenly to the edges.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges of the brownie are set and the top has formed a thin, crackly crust, but the center still has a slight wobble when shaken gently.
  • Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 45 minutes to allow the gooey center to set before slicing. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
