Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your unbaked pie shell into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges.
2. Melt the butter and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
4. Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture until combined.
5. Add cocoa powder and salt. Mix gently until smooth.
6. Pour the mixture into the pie shell and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is just set but still soft.
8. Let cool slightly before serving. For a firmer pie, refrigerate for 2 hours.
Notes
Serve warm for a molten center or chill for a dense, fudgy texture.
Don’t overbake—the center should remain soft.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to elevate the indulgence.
