Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 whisk or electric mixer
- measuring cups
- Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
- 1 frozen pie shell
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 8 Tablespoons salted butter, melted
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- In a large bowl, mix the 8 Tablespoons of melted butter, ¼ cup flour, ¼ cup cocoa powder, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the pie mixture into the unbaked pie shell.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes until the center is firm and the crust is a golden brown.
- Once the pie has cooled (about 20 minutes) place the pie in the refrigerator and allow to completely cool.
- Serve and store covered in the refrigerator.
Notes
- 1 stick of butter equals 8 Tablespoons.
- The best quality of cocoa powder to use for making this pie is Ghirardelli 100% Cocoa Dutch Process (you can find this at any local grocery store or Target), Valrhona Cocoa Powder, or Guittard Cocoa Rouge.
- Let the melted butter cool for a few minutes, and bring the eggs to room temperature before mixing, about 10 minutes. This helps prevent the eggs from cooking and ensures a smooth, creamy pie filling.
- Serve this chocolate pie at room temperature or chilled. It can be made up to 24 hours ahead—just let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.
