Ingredients:

• Crust:
  • 1 pre-made or homemade pie crust, unbaked
• Filling:
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pie Crust:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the pie crust and carefully fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough. Set aside.
2. Make the Filling:
   • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
   • Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Fold in half of the chocolate chips.
3. Assemble the Pie:
   • Spread half of the chocolate chips across the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the filling over the chocolate chips, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top for that perfect chocolatey finish.
4. Bake:
   • Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown. The filling will still be slightly gooey, but it will firm up as it cools.
   • Let the pie cool for about 30 minutes before serving. For an extra indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate over the top!

Additional Tips for Gooey Chocolate Chip Pie:

1. Serving:
   • Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
2. Storage:
   • Store leftovers (if there are any!) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 20 seconds to revive the gooey texture.
3. Customization:
   • Feel free to add a handful of chopped nuts or even swirl in some caramel for an extra indulgent twist.

FAQs About Gooey Chocolate Chip Pie:

1. Can I make this pie in advance?
   • Yes, this pie can be made a day ahead. Simply reheat it in the oven at a low temperature before serving to restore the gooey texture.
2. What kind of chocolate chips should I use?
   • Semi-sweet chocolate chips work best, but you can experiment with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips for a different flavor.
3. Can I freeze Gooey Chocolate Chip Pie?
   • Yes, you can freeze the pie! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge and reheat before serving.
4. Why is my pie not setting in the middle?
   • The pie may need to bake a little longer. Keep an eye on the edges – if they are browning too quickly, you can cover them with foil while the center continues to set.
