Tasting some foods for the first time is a revelation. Chocolate Chip Pie was like that for me. I wasn’t a big fan of pies (other than pumpkin pie) as a girl, so to find a pie that tasted like a wonderful, chocolatey cookie was thrilling.

We were at a little cafe on a town green in Connecticut (I think it was was Guilford, but I could be mistaken), sitting in a cozy booth when I ordered it for the first time at the suggestion of a waitress. From that first bite of warm Chocolate Chip Pie served with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream, I was sold.

With Pi Day approaching in the coming week (that’s March 14, named for the mathematical term that represents the number often abbreviated to 3.14), it seemed like the perfect time to share my recipe for Chocolate Chip Pie. It’s like the rich, chocolatey, soft, gooey brethren of a classic chocolate chip cookie.

Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Pie are shown on a granite countertop including butter, a pie shell, chocolate chips, white sugar, brown sugar, canola oil and flour.

This recipe starts with similar ingredients to the ones you’d use in a cookie — flour, sugars, butter, oil, an egg, chocolate chips and the like. You’ll also need a graham cookie pie shell (or a vanilla wafer one).

You’ll notice that there’s no leavening agent in the recipe though (such as baking powder or baking soda). That’s because this isn’t actually a cookie and thus doesn’t need that.

The batter for Chocolate Chip Pie is shown in a silver bowl. A bottle of vanilla extract, measuring spoons and a pie shell are shown nearby.

The batter for the Chocolate Chip Pie is mixed up in a single bowl. It’s super easy and can be done completely by hand. Add the chocolate chips last, stirring them in.

Then pour the batter into the pie shell and bake. I always put my pie shell on a baking sheet so that it’s easy to get in and out of the oven. I highly recommend it.

Chocolate Chip Pie is shown in a silver pie plate on a white pie stand on a gray granite countertop. There is a stack of white plates nearby and a silver pie knife.

Let the Chocolate Chip Pie cool down for a bit before you dig in. Then enjoy. It’s great with or without ice cream.
