What oven temperature is best for baking a gooey brownie pie?

Baking at 350°F (175°C) works well to develop a gooey center with cooked edges. Preheating the oven ensures even baking and the ideal texture.

Does a gooey brownie pie require a traditional pie crust?

No crust is needed. The brownie mixture sets firmly enough to hold its shape, delivering a pie-like appearance without the extra work of making a crust.

How can I prevent soggy or overly dry edges when baking brownie pie?

Use a preheated oven and an appropriately sized pan. Tent the edges with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking if they brown too quickly. Test doneness with a skewer to ensure moist crumbs remain.

Can I adjust the sweetness without changing the texture?

Yes. You can reduce sugar by about 25% without affecting gooeyness or flavor balance. Consider natural sweeteners like coconut sugar for different taste profiles.

🍰 Perfect for chocolate lovers and special occasions, it’s easy to make and sure to impress with its indulgent texture.

Ingredients

Scale

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided into 2 cups and 1 cup)
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Hot fudge sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan or pie plate with non-stick spray.
2. Melt the butter and 2 cups of chocolate chips together gently in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth. Let cool about 5 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
4. Slowly fold the cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture.
5. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold into the chocolate batter until just combined.
6. Stir in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips.
7. Pour batter into the prepared pan, filling about three quarters full if using a standard pie plate.
8. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until center is set but still gooey, and top has a crackly crust. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly.
9. Remove from oven and cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
10. Serve with hot fudge sauce, vanilla ice cream, or fresh berries if desired.

Notes

🍴 Allow the melted chocolate-butter mixture to cool to avoid scrambling the eggs.
🎂 Beat eggs and sugar until volume doubles for a lighter, fudgier texture.
🍫 Fold dry ingredients gently to maintain airiness and avoid cakey texture.
