Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (or use your favorite homemade crust)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chopped unsweetened chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until just combined.
- Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the batter, mixing until everything is smooth and uniform. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center should still be slightly soft and gooey when gently shaken.
- Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For a fudgier texture, reduce the baking time by 5 minutes.
- You can substitute the pre-made crust with a chocolate cookie crust for extra richness.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to two days.
