Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (e.g., Oreos without the filling)
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Brownie Filling:
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
Preparing the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides evenly.
- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes and let it cool while preparing the brownie filling.
Making the Brownie Filling:
- In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the cocoa powder, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips or chunks.
Assembling and Baking:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared crust and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving for a gooey texture, or refrigerate for a firmer pie.
Serving Suggestions:
- Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
Notes
- The pie has a gooey center when served warm, but refrigerating it for a few hours will firm it up, making it easier to slice.
- You can use any chocolate cookies, such as Oreos or other chocolate sandwich cookies, for the crust.
- For an extra touch, garnish with chocolate shavings or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
