Detailed Directions and Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to ensure it is ready for baking.
Prepare the Baking Dish
Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Melt the Butter
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir occasionally until fully melted and remove from heat.
Add Sugar
Once melted, add granulated sugar to the butter and stir until well combined.
Incorporate Eggs
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Add Vanilla Extract
Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of your brownie pie mixture.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt until mixed evenly.
Mix Dry Ingredients with Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the brownies gooey.
Pour into Baking Dish
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake the Brownie Pie
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges look set and the center is slightly undercooked.
Cool Before Serving
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover brownie pie covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
Customization Ideas
Feel free to add chocolate chips, nuts, or other mix-ins to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
Testing for Doneness
To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out with moist crumbs, not clean.
Cook techniques
Preparing the Pie Crust
Ensure that the pie crust is properly rolled out and fitted into the pie pan without stretching. This helps maintain its shape during baking.
Mixing Ingredients
Combine dry ingredients separately from wet ingredients for an even distribution of flavors. Gradually blend them together for a smooth consistency.
Baking the Pie
Bake the pie at the specified temperature until the edges set but the center remains slightly gooey. This creates the signature brownie texture.
Cooling the Pie
Let the pie cool completely before slicing. This allows the filling to firm up, making it easier to serve.
