Description
Chocolate Crack Pie is a rich, fudgy dessert featuring a gooey brownie-like chocolate filling baked into a flaky crust. This addictively delicious pie is easy to make, perfect for chocolate lovers, and ideal for holidays, potlucks, or indulgent weekends.
Ingredients
1 (4 oz.) bar semi-sweet baking chocolate
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 pie crust (for a bottom-crust-only pie)
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Crust: Lightly spray an 8-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray. Fit the pie crust into the bottom and up the sides. Set aside.
Make the Filling: In a small saucepan, melt butter and chocolate together over very low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar. Let cool for 3 minutes.
Combine with Eggs: In a mixing bowl, beat eggs lightly. Slowly add the slightly cooled chocolate mixture, whisking until fully combined.
Bake the Pie: Pour the chocolate mixture into the pie crust. Bake at 350℉ on the bottom oven rack for 30 minutes. Then transfer to the top oven rack and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Cool and Serve: Allow to cool to room temperature. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
You can use a homemade or store-bought pie crust.
If using a frozen crust in a foil pan, use a regular (not deep-dish) size.
Do not pre-bake the crust; it bakes fully with the filling.
The pie is very rich and pairs well with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
