It's like a warm brownie pie.  Enough said.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
6 eggs
1 c. buttermilk
1 1/2 TB vanilla extract
1 refrigerated 9-inch pie crust
Whipped cream, for garnish

Preheat oven to 325.  Place the chocolate chips in a double boiler and melt over low heat, stirring constantly.  (I microwave them, but be careful not to overdo it, or they will scorch...ick!)


In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt.  In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.  Add the sugar mixture and mix with exlectric mixer or whisk vigorously.  With a rubber spatula, stir in the melted chocolate into the batter.

pour into the pie crust; you may have a little left-over batter.  Place pie in oven on middle rack.  Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until pie is crisp on top and knive inserted in the center comes out with just a bit of moist chocolate on it.  Let stand for 1 hour before serving with whipped cream.  Refrigerate left-overs.
