Hot Fudge Pie


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 2: Make the Fudge Pie Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Add in the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Pour and Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly gooey. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs for that fudgy texture.

Step 4: Serve Warm

Allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes to set slightly, then serve warm. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of extra hot fudge sauce if desired.

Variations

For a twist, try adding a swirl of peanut butter or caramel into the batter before baking, or mix in some chocolate chips for an even richer chocolate experience.

Notes

Be careful not to overbake the pie to ensure it retains its signature gooey center.

Serving Suggestions

Hot Fudge Pie is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cold ice cream melds with the warm fudge, offering a delightful contrast.

Tips

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to mix easily and bake evenly.
  • For a clean cut, dip your knife in hot water before slicing the pie.
