Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cups Molasses
• 0.75 cups Hot water
• 1 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 Egg
• 1 Unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar.

Step 3

Cut the butter into small cubes and cut it into the flour and sugar mixture using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 1/2 cup of this crumb mixture for the topping.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk the cocoa powder, molasses, hot water, and baking soda until well combined.

Step 5

Add the egg to the liquid mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually stir the liquid mixture into the larger portion of the crumb mixture until fully incorporated. This will create the pie filling.

Step 7

Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and pour the filling into the crust.

Step 8

Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of crumbs evenly over the top of the filling.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Step 10

Let the pie cool completely before serving. Enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream.
