Rich Chocolate Brownie Pie Ala Mode

1+1/3 cup (150 g) all-purpose flour
1+½ cup (330 g) sugar
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup (170 g) canola oil
3 fl oz (0.9 dl) boiling water
3 eggs
4 oz (120 g) chocolate chips (40-50% cocoa)

Sift flour and then add all the other dry ingredients. Add oil, boiling water and eggs. Stir until smooth and then add chocolate chips.

Use 13x9 pan or for a pie effect use a round spring form pan. Bake at 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C for 20-30 minutes. Serve brownie pie with a generous scoop of ice cream.



*Tip: To garnish the plate that you serve the pie on, melt two tablespoons of vanilla ice cream onto the plate. Then drip chocolate syrup into circles on the melted ice cream and use a toothpick to make heart designs with the chocolate syrup by pulling the chocolate through the vanilla.

*Tip: To make this recipe healthier canola oil was used, but feel free to use ¾ cup butter or margarine.
