Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your pie crust according to your recipe or use a store-bought option. Chill the crust in the refrigerator.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and glossy, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually fold in flour and salt until just combined. A few lumps are fine!
  6. Pour the batter into the chilled pie crust, smoothing the top.
  7. Bake the pie for approximately 35 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey.
  8. Allow the pie to cool for about 10–15 minutes before serving.
