Ingredients
9inchesunbaked pie crust
½cupall-purpose flour
½teaspoonbaking soda
2largeeggs,room temperature
½cupsalted butter,softened
¾cupgranulated sugar
¼cuppacked light brown sugar
2teaspoonsvanilla extract
½cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips
½cupchopped walnuts or pecans,optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F. Place the unbaked pie crust in the freezer to chill while preparing the rest of the pie.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs with a whisk attachment until very foamy. Beat in the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl, until the ingredients are well combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
Scrape the batter into the pie crust.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the center is only slightly jiggly and the top of the pie is golden brown.
Allow pie to cool for 30 minutes or more before slicing and serving. You can also allow the pie to cool completely. Serve with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.
Notes
Placing the pie crust in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes before baking will help it to cook lightly and not become too dark during baking.
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your pie at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
The color of the pie top will continue to deepen as the pie cools. Remove it from the oven while the center is still slightly jiggly. The pie will set as it cools.
If you do not use nuts, you can increase the chocolate chips up to 1 cup.
