How to Make Fudgy Chocolate Brownie Pie
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a pie dish or round baking pan with foil or parchment and lightly grease.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until glossy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients
Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix—this keeps the brownie extra fudgy.
Step 4: Bake
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
Step 5: Add the Chocolate Topping
While the pie is still warm, spread chocolate spread or melted chocolate over the top. Let it melt naturally for a glossy finish.
