Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch pie pan with 1 1/4-inch depth.
- In a mixing bowl, beat all ingredients except nuts until smooth, about 2 minutes on high speed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pie pan.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the top.
- Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use high-quality bittersweet chocolate instead of sweet cooking chocolate. You can substitute the margarine with unsalted butter for a more classic taste. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, try using a gluten-free baking mix instead of Bisquick. Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the chocolate flavor. Remember to beat the mixture well to ensure a smooth consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Impossible Brownie Pie warm or at room temperature, topped with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. This pie is a great dessert to accompany coffee or hot chocolate. For a unique twist, try pairing it with fresh berries to balance the richness. It also pairs beautifully with Laura'S Chocolate Cake for a delightful dessert spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of nuts in this recipe?
Absolutely! You can use any type of chopped nuts you prefer, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds. If you're allergic to nuts, consider omitting them or using a sprinkle of chocolate chips instead for added texture.
How do I know when the pie is fully baked?
The pie is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking to avoid overcooking, which can lead to a dry texture.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pie ahead of time. Bake it, let it cool, and store it in the refrigerator. It can be made up to two days in advance. Just reheat individual slices in the microwave before serving for the best taste.
