Sinfully simple and southernly sweet! This brownie-like chocolate pie is deliciously easy to make using a store-bought or homemade pie crust. Serve warm or cold with whipped cream, caramel sauce, a dusting of powdered sugar, or your favorite ice cream.
1 stick Blue Bonnet margarine
2–4 oz. boxes semisweet chocolate bars
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt (kosher, table or sea)
2 large eggs, beaten
1 pie crust, store-bought or homemade (Consider Flaky Not-Amish Pie Crust)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch pie pan with either a homemade or a store-bought pie crust. Set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, place margarine and broken-up semisweet chocolate bars. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir. Melt again for 30 seconds and stir until mixture is smooth. (Microwave in 30 second increments if necessary.). Whisk in sugar, vanilla and salt until evenly combined. Add eggs and whisk again until smooth. Pour into prepared pie crust. Bake for 30 minutes or until a crust forms evenly across pie top. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes before serving. Serve with whipped cream, caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream. Store pie covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Individual tarts can be made. Lightly spray the bottoms and sides of 18 muffin cup tins. Roll out and cut pie crust into 4-inch rounds. (Reroll and cut pie crust as needed.) Gently press each round into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup. Pour prepared pie filling into each cup, about 3/4 full. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool and serve as directed above.
