Triple Chocolate Brownie Pie


When I told my family about Pie Day Fridays, that I was posting a new pie recipe each Friday this summer, my daughter frowned and announced in a very disappointed tone that she didn’t like pie…

She wasn’t speaking from experience, though, because she’d really not tried pie much in her lifetime. So I set out to make a pie that my chocolate loving daughter wouldn’t be able to refuse.

Now once y’all see this recipe you’ll probably think “Oh that’s just too simple.” Some folks might even think it is so simple that it shouldn’t even be called a recipe, but I think most of y’all will be more in my mindset of “Oh that is so simple, it’s wonderful!”

If you’re like me and have never met a brownie you didn’t like, you’re gonna love this pie.

And yes, Katy Rose says she loves pie now so all is right in my little world .

You’ll need: a pouch of brownie mix, chocolate chips, and a regular unbaked pie crust.

You’re also going to need whatever ingredients that brownie mix calls for so take a gander at the back and make sure you have that on hand. It’s usually just a bit of oil, an egg, and some water (which I usually substitute milk for but either way works fine).

Mix up brownie mix according to package directions.

Don’t you know that little hands helping make everything taste better? 

Stir in chocolate chips.

That is me saying “this” with a spanish accent, which is as close as I can possibly come to speaking Spanish. I admire folks who can speak more than one language, but I’m not one of them. I think the hard drive on my brain is full This will be interesting next week as I venture to yet another Spanish speaking country with nothing beyond my nearly forgotten American Sign Language skills and an Alabama accent. Hopefully, you’ll be following my posts on that trip by tuning into my facebook page or checking out this post each day for new links to my journal entries.

Bake this at 350 for 25-30 minutes, or until set in the center.

Remember that ovens, like people, may vary  

Allow to cool slightly before cutting.

Top with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce to add the third layer of chocolate

Chocolate Fried Pies (Pie Day Friday!)

An old fashioned, made from scratch, fried pie has no equal. In the fried pie world, I have two favorites: Peach and Chocolate. For an amazing peach pie like my great grandmother made, you have to start with dried peaches. Fresh or canned just can’t pack the wallup of flavor that dried ones do. Click here for my recipe and if you want to watch me make them with Al Roker – just for kicks.

And for fried chocolate pies like I grew up with, you have to make your own chocolate paste out of sugar, butter, and cocoa powder, like my Aunt Sue does and you have to use the recipe that I put in my first cookbook, like I’m sharing with you here.

Note:  You can make these with canned biscuit dough but they won’t be the same. They will still be good in a pinch though. You can also make these simply by sticking a mini chocolate bar inside each one – but it won’t be the same, either. They will still be good in a pinch, though! Just do what you have time to do and put your heart into it. The most important step in cooking isn’t the ingredients you use or  how intricate the preparation, it’s the process of making something yummy for someone because you love them. That makes everything taste better.

Now let’s make some fried pies…

For the crust you’ll need: Shortening (like Crisco, I’m using generic), milk, salt, and all purpose flour.

For the chocolate paste filling you’ll need: Sugar, butter, and cocoa powder.

Most of my family’s old recipes don’t use baking chocolate and such, but cocoa powder instead because it was so much more affordable.

Place flour, salt, and shortening in a bowl. Stir together really well and then cut the shortening into the flour with a long tined fork.

Or a pastry cutter if you’re feeling fancy.

Like this. See? I’m using my own cookbook for this recipe. That is one of the benefits of being a highly unorganized person who happens to have a food blog and a few published books – If it weren’t for these things I’d never be able to find any of my recipes.

Oh yeah, this is my photo of my shortening after it was cut into my flour.  

Pour milk into flour mixture.

Stir it up really well.

You may need to add more milk, and that is perfectly okay. Add a tablespoon or so at a time until it forms a ball of dough.

Divide that up into ten ball shaped portions.

Look at the photo and see that Christy has only nine portions. Life is just like that sometimes.

In a medium mixing bowl, place melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder.

Let your chocolate loving daughter come in for a good sniff…

Then let her stir it up really well.

It will form a paste. Note: This is a gritty chocolate paste and it is utterly delicious.

It’s like folks did in the old days and keep in mind folks were, by and large, an awful lot happier in the old days in most cases. Perhaps chocolate paste fried up inside homemade pies had something to do with this. It certainly couldn’t hurt.

Alright now we need to take each of those dough balls and make them into a 6 inch (or so) circle.

I usually roll mine out but I noticed here that my circles are a lot more like circles when I just pat the out.

 See? This circle was rolled out but that previous perfect looking one was patted out.

Now place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each.

THEN, dip your fingertips in water and run them around the edges to help them stick together.

Fold over and crimp edges lightly with a fork.

Preheat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet on medium high for about five minutes, then turn it down to medium and carefully add your pies a few at a time, careful not to overcrowd.

Let them cook until browned on one side, then flip and cook until browned on the other as well. This will just take a few minutes.

Remove to paper towel lined platter.

Let cool slightly before eating.
