Description

Tricia’s Fantastic Fudge Pie is a rich and indulgent chocolate dessert featuring a smooth fudge filling baked into a flaky pie crust. This easy-to-make treat balances deep cocoa flavor with a tender, slightly soft center that makes every bite decadent. Perfect for serving warm or at room temperature, and delightful topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal baking temperature while you prepare the filling.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a sugary butter base.
  3. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, stirring thoroughly after each to blend them fully into the mixture and achieve a creamy consistency.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is completely mixed and smooth, ensuring no lumps.
  5. Fill the Pie Crust: Pour the fudge batter evenly into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to distribute the filling.
  6. Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The pie’s top will become set and slightly crackled, while the center remains a little soft.
  7. Cool Before Serving: Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes after baking, which lets it set further and makes slicing easier.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the fudge pie warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, substitute dark cocoa powder or mix in 1/4 cup chocolate chips into the batter.
  • This pie can be prepared a day in advance and gently reheated before serving to enhance the flavors.
  • Best enjoyed slightly warm to experience the fudgy, soft texture at its finest.
