Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a pie plate or a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a heat-safe bowl, melt the butter with 2 cups of chocolate chips until smooth, using a double boiler or microwave at 50 percent power.
- Allow the melted chocolate and butter mixture to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla for about 3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Gradually fold in the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
- Add the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips to the batter.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the edges are set and the center is softly puffed.
Cooling and Serving
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing.
- Serve plain or with warm hot fudge, whipped cream, or ice cream.
Notes
For room temperature eggs, allow them to sit out before use. Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Consider adding espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor without being noticeable. Variations may include nuts or peanut butter swirls.
