Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Bake the unbaked pie crust for 10 minutes and then remove. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
- Over low heat, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with butter or margarine.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the melted chocolate mixture with sweetened condensed milk, Bisquick, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add chopped nuts to the mixture and stir to combine.
- Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is set.
- Allow to cool before serving. Serve with warm ice cream if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you're out of Bisquick, you can substitute with an equal amount of all-purpose flour mixed with 1 teaspoon of baking powder. To enhance the texture, try adding a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free baking mix instead of Bisquick.
