This pie is pure chocolate decadence — a crackly top gives way to a rich, molten center that’s silky, gooey, and every chocoholic’s dream. With a flaky crust and brownie-like texture, it’s the ultimate dessert for when only something truly indulgent will do.
1 9-inch unbaked pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp kosher salt
4 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting, whipped cream or ice cream for serving
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp edges as desired.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate until smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
Add eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in vanilla and melted chocolate-butter mixture until fully combined.
Pour filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
Bake 40–45 minutes, until the top is puffed and crackly but the center jiggles slightly.
Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes to let the center set. Serve warm for molten goodness or chilled for a fudgy texture.
