🏛️ A Short History of Brownie Pie

The brownie itself was born in the late 19th century in the USA, rumored to have been created at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago. Meanwhile, pies are one of the oldest dessert forms, dating back to Ancient Egypt and evolving through Medieval Europe. The fusion of these two—brownie and pie—is a relatively modern twist, becoming popular in the 1990s and 2000s in American diners and Pinterest-worthy bakeries.

This dessert is a celebration of both tradition and innovation.

🍫 Ingredients

For the Crust (Optional but heavenly!):

  • 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers OR Oreo crumbs
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • Pinch of salt

For the Gooey Brownie Filling:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: ½ cup chocolate chunks for extra gooeyness

👩‍🍳 Instructions & Method

1. Prepare the Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers or Oreos with melted butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form a firm base.
  4. Bake crust for 8-10 minutes. Let cool while preparing filling.

2. Make the Brownie Filling

  1. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together. Stir until smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in granulated and brown sugar. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  5. Slowly fold dry ingredients into wet chocolate mixture until combined.
  6. If using nuts or extra chocolate, fold them in now.

3. Assemble and Bake

  1. Pour brownie batter into the cooled crust. Smooth out the top.
  2. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still a little wobbly.
  3. Do NOT overbake—gooey is the goal!
  4. Let it cool for 15 minutes for a molten center, or cool completely for cleaner slices.

🍨 Serving Suggestions

🧠 Tips for Gooey Perfection
