Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan well with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal later.
Melt Butter and Chocolate: Combine the unsalted butter and 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and melted. Allow it to cool slightly before use.
Beat the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes. The mixture should become light, fluffy, and pale in color.
Combine with Chocolate: With the mixer on low speed, slowly drizzle the cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the beaten egg mixture. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture tender. Then, fold in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate or springform pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is crackly and the center is puffed but still slightly jiggly when you gently shake the pan.
Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool completely at room temperature before slicing to help it set properly. Serve with a drizzle of hot fudge sauce if desired for extra indulgence.

Notes

Ensure the melted chocolate mixture is slightly cooled before adding to eggs to prevent scrambling.
Do not overbake; the center should remain slightly jiggly for the optimal gooey texture.
This pie is best served at room temperature or slightly warm.
Use a springform pan for easier removal of the pie.
For an added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts into the batter before baking.
