Chocolate Chip Pie (The Deen Brothers)

Submitted by DuChick

"Decadent and creamy, this pie is definitely not for the weight-conscious. Make one to sweeten up your in-laws and take the other to work for your skinny co-workers! Taken from The Deen Bros. Cookbook, and if you know Paula, everything she approves is totally delicious."

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 14
• Serves: 12-16

ingredients

• Pie

• 2 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1⁄4 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1⁄2 cups packed light brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

• Whipped Cream

• 2 pints heavy cream
• 1⁄4 cup confectioners' sugar (powdered)
• 1⁄2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F; grease two 9-inch pie plates; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until incorporated.
5. Beat in the vanilla.
6. Add flour mixture, a little at a time, and mix until fully combined.
7. Fold in the 3 cups chocolate chips and, if desired, the walnuts.
8. Divide the dough between the prepared pie plates and smooth the tops with a spatula.
9. Bake about 30 minutes or until pies are golden and slightly firm to the touch but still soft. If the pies begin to darken too much before they are baked through, cover with foil and continue baking.
10. Let pies cool completely on a wire rack.
11. While the pies cool, whip the cream until soft peaks form (tips curl).
12. Add the confectioners' sugar and whip until just combined.
13. Fold in the chocolate chips.
14. Refrigerate whipped cream until ready to use.
15. Spread the whipped cream over the pies and serve.
