Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 unbaked 9-inch deep-dish pie crust
Filling
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking of the pie.
- Prepare Batter: In a large bowl, beat the eggs until they become foamy, which helps incorporate air for a light texture. Then add the flour, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, mixing until the ingredients are well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the melted and cooled butter along with the vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, blending the mixture into a smooth batter.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the chopped walnuts if using, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill Pie Crust: Pour the prepared batter into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the center is set but still moist.
- Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes to set properly before slicing.
- Serve: Slice and serve warm, optionally accompanied by whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts entirely.
- This pie can be made ahead of time. Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- To enjoy a warm and gooey slice later, reheat individual pieces in the microwave.
