Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 (9-inch) pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
For the Filling:
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor)
For Serving (Optional):
- Vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream
- Fresh berries
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges decoratively. Set aside.
2. Make the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the flour until fully incorporated, then fold in the chocolate chips.
3. Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
4. Bake the Pie:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly (it will continue to set as it cools).
- If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil or a pie shield.
5. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. For best results, chill the pie in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before slicing.
- Serve slices warm or at room temperature, topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries for an extra touch of indulgence.
