The best ever Fudgy Chocolate Chip Crinkle Top Brownie Pie. This is the perfect pie for anyone to make! A super simple pie dough made with only FOUR ingredients; flour, butter, sugar, and water. Then, it’s filled with a delicious chocolate chip brownie batter! Everything is just baked and set, but still gooey and fudgy in the center with pockets of delicious melted chocolate. It’s perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Chantilly cream. Every bite is rich, extra chocolate-y, and SO. GOOD.

About The Recipe

Happy Friday, everyone!

We are celebrating heading into the weekend with the ultimate pie…no, it’s not pumpkin or apple, but a brownie pie! Oh, yes. This is definitely the pie for all the chocolate lovers out there. In fact, I think this might just be the best ever pie!

Think, a thick and fudgy brownie, loaded with gooey chocolate chips, all in a crispy, buttery, and sweet pie crust.

I could not be more obsessed!

The best part? This pie is literally SO easy to make. Like, I’ll be honest, my mom and I don’t like to make pies. We love to eat them, but make them…it’s always so much effort.

We’ve made this pie TWICE in the last few days!!! One for us (aka the blog) and one for family and friends.

It comes together quickly, the crust is SO easy, and it tastes so freaking good.

I think we found our new go-to pie for Thanksgiving!

Every bite is rich, silky, chocolate-y, with a pleasant sweet crunch from the crust. Oh, and did I mention we have a little secret way to ensure you never have a soggy bottom on your crust?

Yep!

This pie is essentially foolproof and a serious crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

(Full ingredient amounts and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of the post)

For The Crust:

All-Purpose Flour – No need for any fancy flours for this pie crust! All-purpose gives this crust the perfect structure.
Granulated Sugar – We added just a little bit of sugar to the crust to give it a little bit of sweetness, as well as to help promote browning!
Salted Butter – Make sure your butter is COLD for this recipe! Once we cut the butter into chunks, we like to keep it in the freezer until we need it because if the butter becomes too warm, it will not work.
Water – Ice cold water is a MUST for this recipe! The amount you need may vary depending on where you live, as the humidity and such do play a role in baking. Always start with the least amount of water needed, increasing only as necessary to bring the dough together.

For The Brownie:

Bittersweet Chocolate – A high quality bittersweet chocolate is a must for this recipe! This is what gives the brownie is rich, dark, and intense chocolate-y flavor.
Salted Butter – We like to use salted butter, as it adds just the right amount of salt to the brownies!
Large Eggs – Remember to set your eggs out ahead of time to allow them to come to room temperature.
Granulated Sugar – Adds just the right amount of sweetness to this decadent brownie.
Vanilla Extract – Gives this brownie a delicious undertone!
All-Purpose Flour – We add juuuust enough flour to give these brownies some structure.
Chocolate Chips – I know it’s a bit confusing having two different chocolates listed in the recipe. No worries! The reason for this is we like to add chocolate chips to this brownie batter, as it adds little pools of melted chocolate. You can use the same type of chocolate as you do for the brownie! Though, if you’d like to do something else, you can use semi-sweet.

How To Make Brownie Pie

Step 1: Make pie crust

Combine flour and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the dough blade. Pulse until blended.

Add butter, a little at a time, pulsing after each addition. Continue to pulse until crumbly.

Add cold water. Pulse until it comes together in a smooth dough.

Step 2: Roll and place in pan

Turn dough out onto a piece of parchment paper. Between two sheets of parchment paper, roll into a 15 inch circle that is ¼ inch thick. Freeze for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Par-bake

Place a piece of parchment in the pie shell and fill with pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully lift out pie weights. Prick bottom of crust with a fork and return the pie crust to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.

3 Tips For The Perfect Pie Crust

Whether you’re making pie for the first time or a seasoned pro, pie crusts can be a little intimidating! Though, here a few quick tips to help ensure the perfect pie!

Remember, the fridge is a pie dough’s best friend! You really need to keep it cold to ensure the best experience.
Preheat the oven! I know this sounds simple, but when you put the cold dough into the hot oven, it creates steam. Therefore, flakier crust!
Keep the butter chunks bigger and, when you’re rolling, if you see any chunks of butter on the edge, cut it off and place it back in the middle. Butter is your dough’s best friend!

How To Tell When The Brownie is Perfectly Baked

We found that, with this recipe in particular, using a cake tester or tooth pick is the best way to tell when the brownie is perfectly baked. After inserting the cake tester, it should still be a little damp with maybe one or two crumbs on it.

This means that the brownie is still fudge-y and moist, while being just barely baked!

What To Serve With Brownie Pie

I think my favorite thing about this pie is the fact that it’s literally a GIANT brownie! So, almost anything tastes delicious alongside a slice of this pie. But, here is a quick list of a few of my favorite things!

How To Store

You can keep this pie covered, in the refrigerator, for 3-5 days. You can also slice this pie and freeze the individual slices in a freezer safe container or zip-top bag and keep in the freezer for 1-2 months.

Expert Tips

When making the pie dough, the fridge is your best friend! The dough can become soft quickly…especially on hot days!
Do not over-work the pie dough in the food processor! Once the water is added, pulse until the dough just comes together into a smooth dough. See photos in the blog post to help!
Do not freeze the pie crust longer than 5 minutes. If you do not have room in your freezer, you can refrigerate the crust for 10-25 minutes, or until completely chilled.
Be very careful when removing the pie weights from the crust, as they will be very hot.
Make sure to thoroughly prick the bottom of the crust!
Do not over-mix the brownie batter.
40 minutes bake time yields a set but still gooey pie filling. 45 minutes bake time yields a completely set, but still moist and fudgy pie.
Be sure to let this pie cool for the full 15-20 minutes before serving!
