Total Time

Servings

Ingredients
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) . Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if desired. If using a store-bought crust, follow package instructions for pre-baking if necessary.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until lightly beaten.
- Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the eggs. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour, whisking gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 3: Fill the Pie Crust
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. The filling will be thick but will spread slightly as it bakes.
Step 4: Bake the Pie
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes , or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft and jiggly. The pie will continue to set as it cools.
- To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—the toothpick should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This allows the filling to set properly.
- Slice and serve at room temperature or chilled, depending on your preference. Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
Pro Tips
- Prevent Overbaking: The center may look underbaked when you take it out of the oven, but it will firm up as it cools. Overbaking can make the pie dry.
- Customize Toppings: Skip the nuts if you prefer a nut-free version, or substitute with white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips for variety.
- Make Ahead: This pie can be made a day in advance and stored at room temperature or in the fridge. Let it come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
