Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional
- Powdered sugar for dusting, optional
- Vanilla ice cream for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth.
- Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. If using, stir in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch.
- Bake the Pie: Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set but the center remains slightly gooey.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. The center will firm up as it sits.
- Serve Warm: Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of hot fudge sauce for extra indulgence.
