Ingredients
Scale
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). -
Cream the Butter and Sugar:
Using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. -
Add the Eggs and Vanilla:
Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well by hand (not with the mixer). -
Mix in Cocoa, Salt, and Flour:
Add the cocoa powder, salt, and flour to the bowl and stir by hand until the mixture is well combined. Hand mix to keep it gooey—using a mixer will make it more like a brownie or cake texture, which is not as gooey. -
Prepare the Pie Pan:
Grease an 8-inch pie pan with butter or cooking spray. -
Pour and Bake:
Pour the mixture into the greased pie pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set. -
Serve:
Let the pie cool slightly before serving. For extra indulgence, top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
Notes
- This pie is best served warm with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of hot fudge for added richness.
- You can make this dessert ahead of time and reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.
