Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy.
- Add flour and sugar to the eggs and beat until well blended.

- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 1 hour at 325°F (163°C).
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of regular melted butter. You can substitute the chocolate chips with chunks of your favorite chocolate bar or even try butterscotch chips for a twist. If you prefer a nutty crunch, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans. Make sure not to overbeat the mixture to keep the pie from becoming too dense.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess. It pairs beautifully with Oatmeal And Chocolate Cookies for a delightful dessert spread. A sprinkle of sea salt on top can enhance the chocolate flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm the entire pie in a 300°F (150°C) oven until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie ahead of time?

What can I use if I don't have a pie crust?
If you don't have a pie crust, you can use a graham cracker crust or make a simple cookie crust using crushed cookies mixed with melted butter. This will add a different texture and flavor to the pie but will still be delicious.
Can I freeze the pie?
Yes, you can freeze the pie! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to three months. To enjoy, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as needed before serving.
