Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Brownie Filling
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the pie.
- Prepare Pie Crust: Fit the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie pan and set aside for later use.
- Mix Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, melted butter, all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth and well-blended.
- Add Pecans and Chocolate Chips: Fold the chopped pecans and semi-sweet chocolate chips gently into the brownie mixture to distribute evenly.
- Fill Pie Crust: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature as desired.
Notes
- Check the pie around 35 minutes to avoid overbaking; the center should be slightly fudgy.
- Chilling the pie before slicing can help achieve cleaner cuts.
- Pecans can be lightly toasted for enhanced flavor before adding.
- For extra richness, add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
- Store any leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
