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
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Add the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The edges should look set, and the center should still be slightly soft and fudgy.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Cooling allows the fudge center to set properly.
- Serve at room temperature or slightly warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For a hot fudge pie experience, warm individual slices slightly before serving.
- If you prefer a brownie pie texture, bake for 5 minutes longer until the center is mostly set.
- Use a high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
