Delicious Brownie Pie

Brownie Pie

Oh this thing is good. So good, we made it twice. Once in a pie crust and again without. Its rich, its chocolatey, its fudgy, and its covered in a thick layer of ganache. If you're going to make and eat a brownie pie, it might as well be this one. 

Recipe: 

For the pie:

2/3 C butter

1 1/3 C sugar

1/2 C light corn syrup

2 eggs

1 1/4 C all-purpose flour

1/2 C cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon salt 

3 tablespoon milk

1 1/2 C chopped nuts (optional)

For the Ganache: 

1 C heavy cream

8 ounces semisweet chocolate 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325

1. In a large bowl combine flour cocoa and salt

2. In a bowl cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy

3. Beat in the eggs and corn syrup

4.Slowly add in the dry ingredients to the wet, then incorporate the milk

5. Fold in nuts (if adding)

6. Spread batter into a 10inch springform pan. Or you can use a (inch chocolate pie crust, or a 9x13 glass pan

7. Bake for 35-45 min or until set

While the pie is cooking, in a small pan bring the heavy cream to a boil then remove from heat and stir in the chocolate until it is melted. Set the pan aside to cool. Once the brownie is removed from the pan that you baked it in, slowly pour the ganache over the brownie and let it drip down the sides. It should be like a waterfall of chocolatey goodness. Refrigerate until the ganache is set... if you can wait that long. 

If the easiness of this pie isn't reason enough to go and make it, just look at how excited this girl was to eat it....
