08 - Vanilla ice cream
09 - Whipped cream
10 - Fresh berries

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Lightly grease a 23 cm pie dish.
02 - Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until the mixture is light and creamy.
04 - Gradually add the cooled melted butter to the sugar–egg mixture, whisking continuously until fully blended.
05 - Sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt in a separate bowl.
06 - Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Stir in the vanilla extract until just combined.
07 - Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish and smooth the surface evenly.
08 - Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are set and the centre remains slightly jiggly.
09 - Allow the pie to cool on a rack for 15–20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with your choice of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries.

# Notes:

01 - For a molten centre, avoid overbaking. The pie can be enjoyed warm for a gooey texture or chilled for a dense, truffle-like consistency.
