That Flaky Pie Crust!

We begin with an amazing home made Butter Pie Crust. I have a great recipe for it here which includes a step by step and all the tips and tricks you need to know, including an in depth video to making an amazing pie crust. Check it out.

You will need to make the pie dough two hours in advance to give it time to chill before rolling it out, adding it to your pie dish and blind baking it. Once you’ve done that, the pie filling takes 10 minutes to make, but more on that below.

What makes Fudgy Brownie Pie so amazing?

There are two things that make this chocolate pie so amazing!

Buttery pie Crust – my butter pie crust recipe is so flaky and buttery and perfectly pairs with this fudgy brownie pie. The key to getting a flaky pie crust is blind baking this. I have a full step by step on how to make the perfect Butter Pie Crust here. You’ll need to make it 2 hours in advance to give it time to chill.
Fudgy Brownie Goodness! – The brownie filling I used in this pie is basically my Fudgy Brownie Recipe minus the walnuts. Although the walnuts would be nice in this pie too! If you love an ultra-chocolatey fudgy brownie, this is 100% that bit… I mean, pie! It’s because I use both cocoa powder and melted dark chocolate.

Butter Pie Crust Recipe – grab the recipe here. You’ll need to make this pie crust at least 2 hours in advance.
Unsalted Butter – this recipe relies on a few very good quality ingredients. Butter is one of them. Use a good quality unsalted butter. Usually butter from New Zealand.
Chocolate – I use nestle cooking chocolate buttons. They’re easy to work with when melting and are specially formulated to work in baking recipes. You can use block cooking chocolate. Both chocolates can be found in the baking isle of your supermarket. Regular eating chocolate will not work for this recipe.
Eggs – I used large eggs. The egg yolk used in this recipe helps give the brownie recipe a chewier texture.
Sugar – I used granulated, but caster will also work. Make sure you whip the eggs and sugars well enough that most of it is dissolved. It won’t be fully dissolved.
Brown sugar – dark, regular or light will work. It will just depend how much of the molasses you want coming through in the flavor of the brownie.
Vanilla Extract – Always use good quality vanilla extract when baking, it makes a huge difference. I have a great recipe here for it if you’d like to try your own!
Flour – I used all-purpose flour. It’s important to sift this into the batter to avoid lumps or overmixing to get rid of lumps.
Cocoa powder – I used a good quality cocoa powder Dutch Processed cocoa powder.
Salt – I used regular salt.
Garnish – I used some of my Chantilly Cream to garnish each slice of the pie along with some chocolate shavings. You can use regular whipped cream, or even ice cream, and to shave the chocolate use a vegetable peeler and grate a block of chocolate over the cream.

Make the pie crust at least 2 hours in advance and blind bake the pie.
Serve at room temperature for a soft and ultra-fudgy experience.
Serve with whipped cream or with ice cream!
Don’t make brownie batter in advance. It won’t bake the same if made in advance. Make it fresh, pour it in the pie crust and bake straight away for best results.
Use a glass or metal pie dish. Ceramic pie dishes look good, but don’t bake as well as glass and metal.
