Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams light brown sugar
• 3 units large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 95 grams all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 120 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 100 grams walnuts, chopped
• 1 unit pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges if desired. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Stir in the melted butter until smooth and combined.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 7

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.

Step 8

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly gooey.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy as is, or serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
