Ingredients
6 tbsp unsalted butter
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Hot fudge sauce (for serving)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan with non-stick spray.
-
Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 2 cups of chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
-
Beat the Eggs: In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla with a hand mixer on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
-
Combine with Chocolate: Slowly stream the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while mixing on low speed, until fully incorporated.
-
Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Then, fold in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips.
-
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate or springform pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the center is puffed and the top is crackly. The center should remain slightly jiggly.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature before slicing and serving. Drizzle with hot fudge sauce if desired.
Notes
Add Nuts: Incorporate chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
Berries: Top with fresh raspberries or strawberries for a fruity contrast.
Flavored Chocolate: Use dark chocolate or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
