Zucchini Chocolate Brownie Pie

8 servings

60 minutes

Zucchini chocolate 'Brownie' pie is an unusual combination of a classic dessert with a surprising yet incredibly successful ingredient - zucchini. This vegetable adds tenderness and moisture to the bake, and its taste is completely undetectable in the finished dish. European cuisine has long experimented with such additions, creating harmonious and balanced desserts. The brownie is rich, with a deep chocolate aroma thanks to cocoa powder and chocolate chips. It is complemented by subtle notes of vanilla sugar and a light nutty crunch. This pie is perfect for chocolate lovers looking to try something original. It can be served warm with melting glaze or chilled with powdered sugar on top.
