Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 pre-made store-bought (9-inch) deep dish pie crust
- Pre-made whipped cream, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Position a rack in the center of the oven.
- Place the chocolate chips in a double boiler and melt over low heat, stirring constantly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt until well combined. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the sugar mixture and mix with an electric hand mixer or whisk vigorously. With a rubber spatula, stir the melted chocolate into the batter.
- Pour batter into the piecrust; you will have about 1 cup of left-over batter. Place pie in oven on middle rack. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 25 minutes, or until the pie is crisp on top and a knife inserted in the center comes out with just a bit of moist chocolate on it.
- Remove from oven and cool completely. Let stand at least 1 hour before serving. If not eating immediately, refrigerate pie. This pie can be served warm or chilled. Garnish with store-bought whipped cream just before serving.

Years ago I had made this pie featured on Sandra’s show. It was wonderful. Fast forward to present and I came across this recipe here online Can’t exactly recall the exact ingredients I used original but surely it’s changed. My pie was a disaster as far as the filling separated ,a soggy egg filling on the bottom and the chocolate brownie like layer on top. I had all my ingredients at room temp and yes I baked it way long enough .Please someone, has this recipe changed?
The recipe from the episode and the written recipe on this app are 2 different things so I took what made sense to me and combined the two. I used 7 eggs like the clip, only 1 1/2 cups of sugar, and used 1/4 cup of flour for a little structure. It came out like a sweet chocolate quiche. Everyone saying it turned out “eggy”, what did you think would happen with 7 eggs and very little flour? It was a huge hit in my house and turned out perfectly! I topped it with fresh whipped cream and dusted it with cocoa powder.
*As in all baking, be sure all ingredients are at room temperature to avoid seizing and separating.*

Great pie. I used 7 eggs as the video says although the written recipe calls for 6 eggs!
My husband says not sweet enough but I say it’s just right!!

OMG….so good. Everyone loved it!
Fantastic – cooled completely and served with raspberries, whipped cream and sprig of mint. Needed emergency second dessert for Easter and only had 1 cup of chocolate chips on hand so changed the amount of ingredients proportionately, perfect for 9″ regular pie plate (1 cup chocolate chips, 2/3 cup buttermilk, 4 eggs, 1 tsp. Vanilla, 2 Tbl.+2 tsp. flour, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp. salt) melted chips in microwave and made filling in food processor. Used pie crust from the dairy section. The easiest thing I made but the most requested recipe.
This pie was a huge hit with my overly picky kids who did nothing but smack praises of it’s goodness the entire time they were eating it. Everyone loves this pie. To change it up I add flavored liquors and extracts depending on the occasion. Watch your bake times. if it is still a little soft in the middle, leaving it in a few more minutes is fine. No extra when I used a deep pie dish but when I do I just pour it into a crock and cook it with the pie. Problem solved.
This was good, but not the recipe featured on her program. There wasn’t flour in that one, and it turned out like the photo which is the one from her show. I want that one! This one is basically a brownie in a crust. I can do that from a box!
i baked this pie this week and it turned out well. followed the tips to have the buttermilk and eggs at room temp, no problem with seizing. i used an mixer thw whole time so everything would mix well. used homemade pie crust and prebaked it a little before adding filling. recipe will make two pies: two 8 in or 2 9in but one will be thinner. watch the time. mine didn’t take the whole recommended time to cook, and i overcooked it slightly. it’s hard to test it when that top is looking so nice with it’s pretty crust, but do. if you want it fudgy, don’t leave it in there the whole time. the pie will rise a lttle while baking and then fall some. because i left it in too long, i had some cracks in the top. served with whipped cream, cold. very good without being too rich. may make again.
I thought it tasted delicious. I made my own simple crust and that alone was delicious then I added the pie and that was just even more yummy. I thought it was stupid that they would plan for leftover batter… I was really confused why they didn’t just measure out differently but I didn’t care enough not to try it. With the extra batter I just put it in a microwave safe bowl and microwaved it for about 10-15 minutes and it tastes delicious. Different texture than the baked one but still sooo good! Being a poor college student I don’t let anything go to waste and the microwave saved me from wasting the extra batter. 🙂
I made this recipe several years ago after I saw it on Sandra’s show. It was delicious and was a big hit at the barbecue I made it for. The only thing I would change is the crust – either to graham cracker or oreo cookie crust. The deep dish crush was too soggy. One thing I remember that the pie tasted better with age (I made two pies), so make the pie ahead and freeze or refrigerate it. I will definitely make this again!
