This 5-Ingredient Fudgy Brownie Pie is a luscious, chocolate-rich dessert that’s incredibly easy to make. Featuring a crisp outer edge and a gooey, soft center, it combines the classic taste of a brownie baked uniquely in a pie format. Ideal for a quick homemade treat, it pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (1 stick)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 pinch salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish to prepare it for the batter.
  2. Combine butter and sugar: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly glossy.
  3. Add eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until the batter is thick and smooth.
  4. Mix in vanilla and salt: If using, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
  5. Fold in dry ingredients: Gently add the cocoa powder and all-purpose flour to the wet mixture, folding just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Transfer to pie dish: Spread the thick brownie batter evenly into the prepared pie dish to ensure even baking.
  7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and serve: Let the brownie pie cool for 15–20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally paired with vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.

Notes

  • For extra indulgence, serve the brownie pie with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain the fudgy texture.
  • Using a toothpick test near the edge prevents overbaking the fudgy center.
