Ingredients

- Sugar – 1 ½ cups
- Cocoa powder – ¼ cup
- Eggs – 3 large
- Buttermilk – 1 cup
- Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon

Instructions
Prepare the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 175°C. Place the pie crust in a pie dish. Press it gently into shape. Set it aside while you prepare the filling.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, add sugar, cocoa powder, flour and salt. Whisk them together until fully combined. This helps create a smooth chocolate base.
Add Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. This mixture gives the pie its soft texture.
Combine Mixtures
- Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until everything blends well. Make sure there are no lumps in the batter.
Fill the Pie Crust
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared crust. Spread evenly using a spatula. Tap lightly to remove air bubbles from the filling.
Bake the Pie
- Place the pie in the oven. Bake for about 40–45 minutes. The center should be slightly soft but set around the edges.
Cool Completely
- Remove the pie from the oven. Let it cool at room temperature. Then place it in the fridge for better texture and flavor.
Slice and Serve
- Cut the pie into even slices. Serve chilled or slightly warm. Enjoy the rich chocolate flavor with a creamy, smooth texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing
- Do not overbake the pie
