Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Pie Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
Crust and Fat Ingredients:
- 1 pie crust (pre-baked)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a moderate 350°F (175°C), ensuring an even cooking environment for the chocolate pie.
- Create a smooth chocolate base by gently melting chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until fully liquefied.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine sugar, softened butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking the ingredients into a uniform mixture.
- Slowly incorporate the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, whisking thoroughly to create a rich, glossy filling with consistent texture.
- Transfer the silky chocolate filling into a pre-baked pie crust, spreading evenly to ensure a smooth surface.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, watching for a set filling that slightly jiggles in the center when gently shaken.
- Remove from oven and allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, which helps the filling stabilize and achieve the perfect consistency before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips for richer, more intense flavor.
- Watch melting chocolate carefully to prevent burning, stirring constantly and using low heat.
- Room temperature eggs blend more smoothly and help create a silkier, more uniform pie filling.
- Swap traditional pie crust with graham cracker or Oreo crust for different flavor profiles and textures.
