Make this rich, gooey hot fudge pie that tastes like a warm brownie. This simple recipe delivers ultimate chocolate indulgence with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. Add the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the fudge filling into the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft and gooey.
  7. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. The center will firm up as it cools slightly.
  8. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate chocolate indulgence.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • If you prefer a crispier crust edge, you can pre-bake the crust for 8 minutes before adding the filling.
  • This pie is best eaten the day it is made for the best gooey texture.
