Decadent, indulgent, rich, sassy -- I'm not just describing myself, I promise. Rather, I'm talking about this amazing Brownie Truffle Pie which you need to make like, yesterday.
Ingredients
  • 1 refrigerated pie crust, room temperature (or you may use your own favorite homemade recipe)
  • 7 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 & ½ cups white sugar (I like using Zulka brand)
  • 2 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar, for sifting on top
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Liberally grease a 9" pie dish with cooking spray. Unroll the pie crust into a flat layer and gently press it into the prepared pie dish. Crimp the edges however you wish and set the pie crust aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cocoa, sugar and vanilla until fully combined. The mixture will be glossy and beautiful! Once combined, pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
  3. Bake the pie for approx. 40-45 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden brown and the center is just about set -- if it is slightly jiggly, that's okay as it will continue to set up as it cools. Do not over-bake. You MAY need to tent the edges of the crust with a pie shield or foil mid-way through baking to prevent the crust from cooking too quickly. Cool the pie completely.
  4. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and cut into wedges. Serve topped with vanilla bean ice cream and fudge sauce if you'd like!
