Submitted by Jennifer

"This is a very rich pie. I recommend serving it with vanilla ice cream."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 5mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 1 pie
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1 unbaked pie shell
• 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1⁄3 cup sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄2 cup flour
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1⁄2 - 3⁄4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Chill unbaked pie crust in freezer for 15 minutes before using.
3. Cream the butter with an electric mixer on medium speed. Gradually beat in the sugars.
4. Add the eggs individually, beating well each time.
5. Beat in the vanilla, then the flour and salt until well blended.
6. Blend in the milk (don't worry if the filling looks a little lumpy at this point) and finally, stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
7. Pour filling into the chilled shell, smoothing it out with a spoon.
8. Bake the pie on the center oven rack for about 50 minutes, turning it 180 degrees halfway through baking time.
9. When done, the top will be dark golden brown, and the filling will be set except for the center, which may slightly jiggle when you tap the pan.
10. Cool pie on a wire rack. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
