Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the pie bakes evenly and achieves the perfect texture.
Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Mix the Sugars and Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until fully combined for a rich, smooth batter.
Combine the Mixtures: Stir the cooled chocolate and butter mixture and vanilla extract into the sugar-egg mixture until well combined.
Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing gently until just combined to maintain a fudgy texture. Avoid overmixing.
Pour into the Crust: Pour the prepared filling into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, spreading evenly.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until the edges are firm and the center has a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. Serve as is or with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or fruit for added contrast.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and butter to ensure smooth mixing and the best texture.
Do not overmix the batter once dry ingredients are added to prevent a tough pie.
Customize toppings by sprinkling sea salt, adding chopped nuts, or drizzling caramel sauce for extra flavor.
Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or enjoy chilled.
