Two of my kids’ most favorite desserts in the world are brownies and pie. The first time I made this they thought I was some kind of miracle worker. This really is the best of both worlds: rich brownies with chocolate chips and nuts baked into a flaky pie crust.
Ingredients
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 unbaked homemade or store-bought 9-inch deep-dish pie crust
Powdered sugar, for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Heat the butter and unsweetened chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth.
Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the sugar until smooth. Pour into a medium bowl and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Whisk in the eggs one at a time. Whisk in the flour, vanilla, and salt.
Fold in the chocolate morsels and pecans. Pour into the pie crust.
Bake until just set and a crust forms on top, about 1 hour. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar.
To store, wrap tightly and keep at room temperature for up to 2 days.
