Hands down, one of our favorite desserts!

It's a rainy Sunday afternoon, and there's something so comforting about the slow cooker working its magic while you get other things done around the house. One of my absolute favorite slow cooker treats is this Chocolate Chip Pie. It's essentially like a giant, gooey chocolate chip cookie transformed into a pie. What makes this dish even more special is that it’s incredibly easy to prepare. You just throw everything into the slow cooker and let it do its thing. It’s the perfect dessert for family gatherings or just a cozy night in when you’re craving something sweet.

This pie is a star all on its own, but if you want to take it up a notch, try serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The cold creaminess of the ice cream pairs perfectly with the warm, gooey pie. If you're feeling extra indulgent, a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce wouldn't hurt either. A nice cup of coffee or a glass of milk on the side makes this dessert truly complete and satisfying.

Servings: 8

1 cup of all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of butter, melted
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of chocolate chips

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.

3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

5. Fold in the chocolate chips.

6. Line the bottom of your slow cooker with parchment paper, making sure it covers the sides slightly.

7. Pour the batter into the slow cooker and spread it out evenly.

8. Cover and cook on low for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the pie is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Let the pie cool in the slow cooker for about 10 minutes before lifting it out using the parchment paper. Slice and serve warm.

Feel free to get creative with this recipe! You can add nuts like pecans or walnuts for a bit of crunch. For a fun twist, try substituting half of the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips. If you’re a fan of peanut butter, swirl some into the batter before cooking for a delicious peanut butter chocolate combo. Lastly, if you prefer a more caramelized flavor, sprinkle some extra brown sugar on top before cooking.
