How to Make Gooey Brownie Pie

Ingredients:

1 store-bought or homemade pie crust
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup caramel sauce
1/4 cup chocolate chips, melted

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it gently into the sides.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and eggs until smooth and fully combined. Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is just set but still gooey. Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely.
Once the pie has cooled, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top. Melt the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips and drizzle over the pie for an extra indulgent touch.

How to Serve Gooey Brownie Pie

Serve the Gooey Brownie Pie warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For added presentation, sprinkle some extra caramel and chocolate over the top before serving.

How to Store Gooey Brownie Pie

Store any leftover pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can refrigerate it for up to a week. This pie can also be frozen. Just wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

Tips to Make Gooey Brownie Pie

Make sure not to overbake the pie. The center should be gooey, so keep an eye on the time.
