  • Fold the dry ingredients gently to keep the center extra gooey and fudgy.
  • Allow the pie to cool fully so it sets enough for clean slices while staying soft inside.

FAQ

Can I use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet?
Yes—just expect a deeper, slightly less sweet flavor.

Does it need to be fully set in the center?
No, the jiggle is what keeps the pie gooey; it firms as it cools.

Can I reheat slices?
Absolutely—10–15 seconds in the microwave brings back the melty texture.

Can I add nuts?
Chopped walnuts or pecans can be folded in with the final cup of chocolate chips.

Can I make it ahead?
Yes—prepare and bake the day before, then cool and cover; serve at room temperature or slightly warmed.
