It’s not that Kate isn’t creative – it’s just that she knows what she likes. Another iteration of chocolate fudge, this week it was Brownie Pie. This pie featured a chocolate pie dough that we got from a neighbor some time ago, but haven’t ever used in the Pie Project. It’s got most of the main ingredients of pie dough plus chocolate, and it comes out kind of like a solid chocolate cookie. It’s great.
Inside this great shell was something that was more akin to warm half-baked brownie batter than it was an actual brownie. That is to say, it was incredible. We made 1.5x the filling of this recipe (to fit our large pie pan), which meant we baked it a little longer, and we left out the walnuts. We served it warm, and it was goopy and smooth and fudgy and all of us were reaching for the vanilla ice cream and milk. One does not simply eat a slice of Kate’s Brownie Pie without a glass of milk handy. It was very similar to the Chocolate Fudge Pie she made in the spring, but that was one of the universally acknowledged best pies of the year, so apparently this one was too.
