Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Oven & Crust
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if desired.
2. Make the Filling
-
In a bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
-
Add eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and glossy.
-
Fold in chopped nuts (if using).
3. Bake to Perfection
-
Pour filling into the crust and spread evenly.
-
Bake for 30–35 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly (it will firm up as it cools).
-
Tip: Cover crust edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
4. Cool & Serve
-
Let the pie cool completely (at least 2 hours) before slicing.
-
Serve with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or caramel drizzle for extra decadence.
