Rich cocoa powder, sugar, butter, and eggs create a Fudgy Brownie Pie that’s gooey in the middle with crisp edges — pure chocolate bliss!

Okay, so here’s the thing: sometimes, a regular old brownie just doesn’t cut it. You know what I mean? You need something fudgy, a little bit dramatic, and 100% worthy of sneaking a second (or third) slice when no one’s looking.

this recipe

That’s how this Fudgy Brownie Pie came into my life. It happened one night after a long week (the kind where you realize you’ve lived on coffee and stress granola bars). I threw open the pantry and basically made a chocolate Frankenstein with whatever I had on hand. No fancy mixers. No extra bowls. Just pure “I deserve something amazing” energy.

One bite and…oh man. It wasn’t just good. It was the kind of fudgy, buttery, rich magic that makes you text your best friend, “you NEED to come over right now.” And now? It’s my go-to when I want all the brownie vibes, but somehow even better.

Why You’ll Love This Fudgy Brownie Pie Recipe?

Let’s be real: if you’re reading this, you probably already love brownies. And pie. And warm, gooey, slightly underbaked desserts that make you close your eyes after the first bite.

This Fudgy Brownie Pie is like the unofficial dessert of cozy weekends, late-night cravings, or, honestly, Tuesday afternoons when you’re “just gonna have a little bite” (and then mysteriously half the pan disappears — weird, right?).

You get crispy edges, that signature crackly brownie top, and a thick, fudge-like center that feels borderline illegal. Warning: no matter how much you make, it’ll somehow vanish. Fast.

Ingredient Notes:

You probably have everything you need already. (I love that for us.)

• Eggs: Two big beauties. They give that dense, rich structure we’re obsessed with.

• Sugar: Good ol’ granulated sugar — sweetens and helps get that shiny, crackly top!

• Butter or Margarine: Butter gives better flavor (I mean, obviously), but margarine works too if that’s what’s hanging out in your fridge.

• Flour: All-purpose flour, nothing fancy.

• Hershey’s Cocoa Powder: I always use Hershey’s because it’s rich but not bitter. You could totally swap in your fave brand, though.

• Salt: Just a pinch. Trust me, it makes the chocolate pop.

• Vanilla Extract: Warmth and coziness, bottled.

• Nuts (Optional): I personally swing between team “chunky walnut chaos” and team “smooth and pure.” Totally your call.

How To Make Fudgy Brownie Pie?

Alright, here’s where the magic happens:

1. First, beat your eggs in a little mixing bowl. You don’t need a stand mixer or anything. A whisk and a strong arm (or minor frustration to burn off) are enough.
2. Next, blend in the sugar and your melted butter. It’ll look glossy and a little thick — like you’re about to make something wonderful. (Spoiler: you are.)
3. Mix your dry stuff (that’s the flour, cocoa powder, and salt) in another bowl. Then slowly stir that into your wet mix. It’ll be thick, like “I could eat this batter with a spoon” thick. (Not saying you should…but not saying you shouldn’t.)
4. Stir in vanilla, and if you’re feelin’ nutty, toss in those chopped nuts now too.
5. Pour that gorgeous, chocolatey mess into a lightly greased 8-inch pie pan.
6. Bake at 350°F for about 25 to 30 minutes. Now, this is important: when it looks almost set but still a little jiggly in the middle, pull it out. Trust me. That’s where the fudgy magic lives.
7. Let it cool a bit (or don’t — live your life).

Storage Options:

If you somehow have leftovers — and I mean somehow — cover the pie tightly and store it at room temperature for 2–3 days.

Want it to last longer? (Good luck.) Pop it into the fridge for up to a week. Warm a slice for 10-15 seconds in the microwave for that fresh-outta-the-oven feeling. Life-changing.

Variations and Substitutions:

Because sometimes we’re fancy, sometimes we’re lazy:

• Add chocolate chips: For double-chocolate insanity.

• Use almond flour: If you wanna make it gluten-free (and a little nutty).

• Top it with sea salt: Total game-changer if you love salty-sweet desserts.

• Throw candy pieces in: Like chopped Reese’s or mini Snickers bars. (YOLO.)

What to Serve with Fudgy Brownie Pie?

I mean, it’s basically perfect solo, but here’s how to really show off:

• Big ol’ scoop of vanilla ice cream (melty magic).

• Whipped cream and berries (you fancy).

• Espresso or coffee (this combo will wreck you in the best way).

• Hot fudge drizzle (because we’re extra, and proud of it).

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I really need a pie pan?
Nah. An 8×8 baking dish works too. Pie pan just makes it feel special.

Can I freeze this?
Heck yes! Slice it, wrap it tight, and freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost and devour.

Can I underbake it a little for even more gooeyness?
Absolutely. Highly recommend. Life’s too short for dry brownies.

If there’s one dessert that feels like a warm hug, a little rebellion, and a moment of pure joy all rolled into one, it’s this Fudgy Brownie Pie. Make it when you need chocolate therapy, a celebration, or just a really good Tuesday night.

And hey, if you cut a slice “just to even it out” and then somehow cut three more? Same. No judgment here.

Instructions

 

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch pie pan and set aside.

Prepare the wet mixture:

1. In a small mixing bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. Add the granulated sugar and the melted margarine or butter. Blend until smooth and fully incorporated.

Combine the dry ingredients:

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Assemble the batter:

1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix briefly. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.

Bake:

1. Pour the batter into the prepared pie pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center appears slightly underbaked (a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs).

Cool and serve:

1. Allow the pie to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut into wedges and serve.

Notes

To make this Fudgy Brownie Pie gluten-free, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a high-quality gluten-free 1:1 baking flour blend. Ensure the cocoa powder and other ingredients are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
