Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 unbaked pie crust
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
Filling Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Baking Additions:
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 tbsp corn syrup
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, positioning the rack in the center for even baking.
- Gently place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges for a decorative finish.
- Cream the softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the filling.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure a consistent texture.
- Fold in vanilla extract, salt, and corn syrup, blending until the ingredients are seamlessly combined.
- Gradually sift the flour into the wet mixture, stirring carefully to prevent lumps and achieve a silky consistency.
- Fold in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, distributing them evenly throughout the batter for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the mixture, gently stirring to create a subtle warm undertone.
- Pour the prepared filling into the pie crust, ensuring an even spread to the edges.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
- Serve at room temperature, optionally garnishing with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Chill the butter and eggs beforehand to ensure a more stable and smoother batter texture.
- Swap walnuts with pecans or almonds for a different nutty flavor profile and dietary preference.
- Use gluten-free flour blend to make this recipe completely gluten-free without compromising taste or texture.
- Reduce sugar content by replacing half the granulated sugar with monk fruit sweetener for a lower-calorie version.
