- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pie plate or 9-inch springform pan.
2️⃣ Melt Chocolate
In a heat-safe bowl, melt butter and 2 cups of chocolate chips until smooth (use a double boiler or microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals). Let cool slightly.

5️⃣ Add Dry Ingredients
Gently fold in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Stir in remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips.
6️⃣ Bake
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35–40 minutes, until the center is puffed. Cracks on top are normal.
7️⃣ Cool & Serve
Let the pie cool completely. Serve as-is or warm it slightly and top with hot fudge or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
