Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

For the brownie pie:

  • 1 9-inch pie crust baked
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

For the espresso whipped cream:

  • 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
  • 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • grated chocolate for topping

Instructions

For the brownie pie:

  • Make sure you've baked your pie crust according to package/recipe instructions. Set it aside to cool. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. 
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add 2/3 cup of chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second increments until completely melted, stirring after each increment. Once melted, add instant espresso, vegetable oil, and cocoa powder. Mix until combined. 
  • In a separate bowl fitted for your stand mixer, add eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat them on medium with a paddle attachment until thick and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add chocolate mixture and beat together on low until combined. Add flour and beat just until combined. 
  • Using a spatula, scrape the sides of the bowl and mix until everything is incorporated. Add 1/3 cup of remaining chocolate chips and stir. Pour into baked pie shell and smooth the top. 
  • Bake in preheat oven for 30-35 minutes, or until toothpick comes out with a very thin layer of batter on it. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack to cool completely. 

For the espresso whipped cream:

  • Microwave 2 teaspoons of cream in a small bowl for 10 seconds. Add espresso powder and stir until completely combined. Set aside. 
  • Place remaining cream in a bowl fitted for a stand mixer. Beat on medium-high  until soft peaks form. Add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time while mixer is on low. Once stiff peaks form, add espresso mixture and mix on low until combined. Top cooled pie with espresso whipped cream and serve.
