Grandma’s Chocolate Pie is a rich and creamy dessert featuring a smooth chocolate filling baked to perfection in a flaky pre-made pie crust. This classic pie combines melted semi-sweet chocolate with eggs, sugar, milk, and vanilla, resulting in a luscious and comforting treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Crust

  • 1 pre-made pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your pie crust by placing it into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it is evenly fitted.
  2. Melt Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, gently melt the chocolate chips together with the whole milk, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Remove from heat.
  3. Whisk Eggs and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and slightly pale in color, which helps achieve a creamy texture.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Stir the vanilla extract into the egg and sugar mixture. Then, gently fold in the melted chocolate and milk mixture, ensuring everything is incorporated without deflating the eggs.
  5. Fill and Bake: Pour the prepared chocolate filling into the pie crust and place it into the oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the pie is set but still slightly jiggly in the center to maintain creaminess.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before slicing. For serving, optionally add whipped cream or fresh berries to enhance the flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and texture.
  • Do not overbake; the pie should still have a slight jiggle in the center when done.
  • Let the pie cool completely to allow it to set properly before slicing.
  • Serve with whipped cream or fresh berries to add a refreshing contrast.
  • Using a high-quality chocolate will greatly enhance the flavor.
