This recipe delivers a rich, decadent chocolate fudge pie with a fudgy, brownie-like center baked in a buttery crust. It is simple to make and perfect for holidays or a serious chocolate fix.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. Add the water and butter to the saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter melts and the mixture just begins to simmer. Remove from heat immediately.
  4. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly pour about half a cup of the hot chocolate mixture into the beaten eggs while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  5. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture. Stir well to combine.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Pour the warm filling into the prepared pie crust.
  8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight wobble. The filling will firm up as it cools.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This pie is best served slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a hot fudge pie experience, serve slices warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
  • This pie tastes like a cross between a brownie and a custard; cooling completely allows the fudgy texture to set properly.
  • If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the water with strong brewed coffee.
