Description
A rich and fudgy chocolate brownie pie swirled with luscious caramel, baked in a buttery pie crust. This indulgent dessert combines the best of brownies and caramel for an unforgettable treat.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup melted coconut oil or vegan butter
1 cup coconut sugar or regular sugar
1/4 cup milk of choice
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup flour (all-purpose, oat, or almond)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/3 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade, dairy-free if needed)
1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, melted oil or butter, sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the flour and baking soda just until combined—do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared pie crust and smooth it out evenly.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the first layer of batter.
- Spread the remaining brownie batter on top and swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 1 hour or chill for cleaner slices.
- Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and an extra drizzle of caramel.
Notes
Use oat or almond flour for a gluten-free version.
For a nut-free version, stick to all-purpose or oat flour and avoid nut-based milk or caramel.
Add extra caramel in the center layer and slightly underbake for an extra gooey texture.
Add 1 tsp of instant espresso powder for a mocha flavor.
Top with chopped pecans or walnuts before baking for a crunchier texture.
Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days. Freeze slices for up to 2 months.
Reheat in microwave for 20–30 seconds or in oven at 300°F until warmed through.
