2 large eggs

1 (18.3-ounce) box brownie mix (family-size, 13×9)

Instructions

Place butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until it turns light golden brown and smells nutty. Immediately remove from heat and pour into a heat-safe bowl. Let cool for 10–15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, beat eggs for about 3 minutes until foamy. Add brownie mix, half-n-half, espresso powder, and cooled browned butter. Mix just until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips and pour the batter into the frozen pie crust, spreading evenly.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (or internal temperature reaches 180°F for fudgy or 190°F for cakey).
Cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with ice cream and a drizzle of caramel or hot fudge if desired.

Notes

Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.

Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans for texture.

Swap pie crust for graham cracker or Oreo crust for variation.

Increase espresso powder for a mocha flavor.

Sprinkle crushed peppermint or sea salt on top after baking for a festive finish.

Store at room temperature for up to 5 days; reheat slices in microwave for 15–20 seconds for a gooey texture.
