Instructions
 

Make the Brownie Base:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan.

      - In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar. Stir until well mixed.

        - Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.

          - In another bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.

            - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

              - Pour brownie batter into the prepared pie pan, spreading it evenly.

                - Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow it to cool completely.

                  Prepare the Chocolate Pudding Filling:

                    - In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.

                      - Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble. This will take about 5-8 minutes.

                        - Remove from heat and stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and chopped chocolate until smooth and glossy.

                          - Let the pudding cool slightly before pouring it over the cooled brownie base.

                            Assemble the Pie:

                              - Pour the chocolate pudding filling over the brownie base, spreading it evenly.

                                - Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.

                                  Serve:

                                    - Once set, slice and serve topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
