Ingredients

For the crust:
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
½ cup cold unsalted butter cubed
2 –3 tbsp ice water
For the brownie filling:
6 oz dark chocolate chopped
½ cup unsalted butter
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp espresso powder optional but recommended
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
Flaky sea salt for topping optional

Equipment

9-inch pie pan
Mixing bowls
Heatproof bowl
Whisk
Silicone spatula
- Oven
- Parchment Paper
Pie weights or dry beans

Method

Make the crust:
In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Slowly add ice water until dough just comes together. Press into a 9-inch pie pan. Chill for 30 minutes.
Blind-bake the crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the crust with parchment and add pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove weights and bake another 5–7 minutes. Cool slightly.
Prepare brownie batter:
In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt chocolate and butter. Remove from heat and whisk in sugars. Beat in eggs, vanilla, and espresso powder. Gently fold in flour, cocoa, and salt.
Assemble and bake:
Pour brownie batter into the pre-baked crust. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, until edges are set but the center is still slightly wobbly.
Cool and serve:
Let cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired. Serve warm or chilled with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For a shortcut, use a store-bought pie crust and blind-bake as directed.

Don’t overbake—slightly underbaked center gives the gooey texture.

Try adding chopped pecans or chocolate chunks for variation.

Chill the pie for cleaner slices; reheat slightly before serving for melt-in-your-mouth results.
