Ingredients

For Slow Cooker Chocolate Chip Pie

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker

  1. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Roll out the refrigerated pie crust and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker, pressing it slightly up the sides.

Step 2: Make the Pie Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract, followed by the flour and salt, until just combined.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using).

Step 3: Assemble and Cook

  1. Pour the chocolate chip pie filling over the prepared pie crust in the slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
  2. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the pie is set in the center but still slightly gooey.

Step 4: Cool and Serve

  1. Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let the pie cool for about 20-30 minutes before slicing.
  2. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Cook Notes & Tips

  • Cooking Time: Slow cooker temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on the pie towards the end of the cooking time to avoid overcooking.
  • Crust: If you prefer a crispier crust, you can blind-bake the pie crust in the oven before adding it to the slow cooker.
  • Nuts: Nuts are optional, but they add a nice crunch and complement the chocolate flavor beautifully.

Variations

  • Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pie: Swirl in 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter for a rich, peanutty flavor.
  • Double Chocolate Chip Pie: Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the pie filling for an extra chocolatey dessert.
  • Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pie: Mix in 1/4 cup of rolled oats for added texture and a hint of oatmeal cookie flavor.
