Ingredients
For the Crust
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Brownie Layer
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
For the Caramel Topping
1 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
½ cup heavy cream, warmed
Pinch of salt (optional, for salted caramel)
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8–10 minutes. Set aside.
Make the brownie layer: In a saucepan, melt butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Pour batter into the crust.
Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the brownie center is set but still slightly fudgy. Cool on a wire rack.
Make the caramel: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted and amber-colored. Stir in butter until melted, then slowly whisk in warmed cream. Cook for 1–2 minutes until smooth. Add salt if desired. Cool slightly.
Assemble: Pour caramel over cooled brownie pie. Let set before slicing.
Serve: Top with whipped cream, ice cream, or extra drizzle of caramel.
Notes
For extra indulgence, sprinkle chocolate chunks or pecans into the brownie layer before baking.
Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Warm slices in the microwave for 15–20 seconds for the “gooey” effect.
