Chocolate Chip Pie is one of my favorite pies ever. It’s basically a chocolate chip cookie in a pie with a flaky pie crust but a little more gooey. I make this easy pie recipe for Thanksgiving because it’s one of my kid’s favorite desserts.

CHOCOLATE CHIP PIE

Did you know that Steve Jobs wore the same thing every day? A black turtleneck and jeans. He had to make so many huge decisions in his day to day that he didn’t want what he was wearing to be one of them.

You know who else was/is known to wear the same thing every day? Einstein, Obama, and Mark Zuckerberg. Research shows that the act of making decisions degrades your ability to make further decisions (Forbes).

Knowing that explains a lot.

I will eat healthy all day long – start off with a protein shake, have a nice salad for lunch, fruit and veggies for snacks, and some protein based meal for dinner. Then, when my husband strolls in at 10:30 at night from a business trip with cookies the size of my outstretched hand, I devour 3 of them in less than a minute. I’ve used all of my self control by the end of the day.

Cookies are my ultimate weakness. Which is why this Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie recipe is one of my all-time favorites.  It’s like a classic chocolate chip cookie in pie form. I could eat the entire pie. The filling is made basically of cookie dough. Hello.

Some people know this as the Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Pie classic recipe or Kentucky Derby Pie.

INGREDIENTS

This is made with simple ingredients.

  • UNBAKED PIE SHELL – You can buy a frozen pie crust at the grocery store or make a homemade pie crust. You could also do a graham cracker crust.
  • EGGS
  • ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
  • GRANULATED SUGAR
  • BROWN SUGAR
  • PURE VANILLA EXTRACT
  • BUTTER
  • SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS
  • PECANS OR WALNUTS
  • SCOOP OF VANILLA ICE CREAM – You must serve with this and whipped cream.

 

HOW TO MAKE THIS:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Beat eggs in large mixing bowl on high speed until foamy and pale in color. Beat in flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat in butter until combined.
  3. Stir in morsels and nuts. Spoon into pie shell. The mixture will be thick.
  4. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the top of the pie is golden brown and a knife inserted halfway between edge and center comes out clean. You may want to make a aluminum foil tent over the pie dish towards the end so the crust doesn’t brown too much. Cool on wire rack. Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or hot fudge.

You must eat this warm with a big scoop of ice cream. Of course it’s great at room temperature too.

You can make this with or without nuts depending on your preference.

CAN I FREEZE CHOCOLATE CHIP PIE?

Yes. It freezes well. To eat, thaw and heat in the oven at 350 degrees for ten minutes or in the microwave.
