Ingredients
Scale
1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (or homemade)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined.
Add the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the unbaked pie crust. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The edges should look set, and the center should still be slightly soft and fudgy. A toothpick inserted near the edge should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing. This allows the fudgy center to set properly.
Serve at room temperature or slightly warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
For a deeper chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder instead of regular unsweetened cocoa powder.
If you prefer a slightly firmer texture, bake the pie for an additional 5 minutes.
Chill the pie for 30 minutes before slicing if you want cleaner cuts.
