BROWNIE PIE INSTRUCTIONS
First, preheat your oven to 325° to ensure it’s nice and hot when the brownie pie is ready to bake. Next, gather all your ingredients and equipment in one place for easy access. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until well blended. Melt the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth. Pour the batter into a prepared pie dish and bake for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey. Allow the brownie pie to cool before slicing and serving for the perfect decadent treat that will satisfy any chocolate craving.
These step-by-step instructions will guide you through the process of creating a sinfully rich Decadent Brownie Pie that is sure to impress. Next, let’s explore some essential tips to help you achieve the perfect brownie pie every time.
- In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.
- Add corn syrup; mix well.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Combine the flour, cocoa, and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk.
- Fold in walnuts.
- Spread into a greased 10-in. spring-form pan.
- Bake at 325° for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted 1 in. from the side of the pan comes out clean.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- Release the sides before adding the ganache.
CHOCOLATE GANACHE INSTRUCITONS
- In a saucepan, bring cream to a simmer.
- Remove from heat; stir in chocolate, granulated sugar, and corn syrup until melted.
- Cool completely.
- Remove the sides of the spring-form pan.
- Pour or spoon ganache over the brownie, spreading it to the edge or over top and letting it drip down the sides.

- Cut into wedges; garnish with desired toppings.
- Store in the refrigerator.
TIPS FOR A PERFECT BROWNIE PIE
To ensure your brownie pie turns out perfectly every time, it’s important to follow a few key tips. One essential tip is not to overmix the batter once you have combined the wet and dry ingredients. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense brownie rather than the moist and fudgy texture we all love. Additionally, make sure to use a bar of good-quality chocolate for a rich and decadent flavor. Another tip is to test the doneness of the brownie pie by inserting a toothpick into the center – if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, it’s ready to be taken out of the oven. These tips will ensure that your brownie pie is a hit every time, but why stop there? Get ready to elevate your dessert game with some creative serving suggestions.
Creative Serving Suggestions
Why stop at just serving your sinfully rich and decadent brownie pie on its own when you can take it to the next level with some creative and fun serving suggestions? Think outside the box and consider topping each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of warm caramel sauce for a deliciously indulgent treat. Or, for a more elegant presentation, dust the top of the pie with powdered sugar and serve with a dollop of freshly whipped cream and a few fresh berries on the side. These creative serving ideas will not only impress your guests but also enhance the overall experience of enjoying this irresistible dessert.
- WHIPPED CREAM: Just like at Cheesecake Factory, add a tower of whipped cream on the side of the slice of brownie pie.
- VANILLA ICE CREAM- place a scoop of ice cream on the side on top of the caramel and fudge drizzle
- BLACKBERRIES- chocolate and blackberries pair perfectly together. Use them as a garnish on top of the whipped cream.
- STRAWBERRIES- chocolate and strawberries pair perfectly together. Use them as a garnish on top of the whipped cream.
- CHERRIES- chocolate and cherries pair perfectly together. Use them as a garnish on top of the whipped cream.
- RASPBERRIES-chocolate and raspberries pair perfectly together. Use them as a garnish on top of the whipped cream.
- ANDES CREME DE MENTHE THINS-break up the mints and sprinkle over the ganache
- DRIZZLE OF HOT CARAMEL AND FUDGE-add a drizzle of each on the plate before adding the slice of pie
Decadent Brownie Variation Ideas
These variations will take your decadent brownie pie to new heights and provide a unique spin on a classic dessert. So why not get creative in the kitchen and try out one of these delicious twists on the recipe? BAKER TIP: DO NOT ADD MORE THAN 1 CUP OF INCLUSIONS TO THE BATTER.
- ANDES MINTS: Chop a few mints and add to the batter
- CARAMEL BITS: Add little bits of caramel in every bite!
- CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Once the brownie pie cools, the chocolate chips will add crunch.
- ALMONDS AND COCONUT: Create an Almond Joy Brownie Pie
- PEANUT BUTTER CHIPS: Peanut butter and chocolate were made for each other.
- OREO COOKIES: Chop or break cookies into bite-size pieces; remember to limit the inclusions to 1 cup.

Hi Sheryl, great treat! How about adding it to the Food on Friday: Holiday Treats collection over at Carole’s Chatter? Cheers
Sheryl, you continue to give me diabetes of the eyes and I’m not one bit mad!
Oh, my goodness! Now that is one good looking brownie right there!!!
Yum! Wish I had a bite.
That is not fair to post such a gummy looking brownie! But I am going to try it. Have a blessed day!
I just found this, and it looks amazing. Question – do you think I could replace the corn syrup with honey? Thank you!
Hi Rhonda, As far a texture yes I think honey would work but it will change the flavor of the brownie pie.
Made this for a Birthday party and everyone went crazy over it. Soooo good. What caramel recipe do you use? Thanks!
Hi Christina, I just used caramel ice cream topping for this recipe.
Can I sub Hershey’s cocoa for the chocolate squares?
Hi Rose, Chocolate squares will add moisture/liquid to the recipe. I would stick with using the cocoa.
Do you use unsalted or salted butter for this recipe?
I always use unsalted butter when I bake.😊
Could this be baked in a 9X13 or would I have to double batch it or something? I need it for a social so the wedges wouldn’t give me enough.
Hi Laura, I think doubling the recipe would work.
