Decadent Hot Fudge Pie

by

Ingredients

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • Optional toppings: Whipped cream vanilla ice cream, chocolate shavings

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie pan
  • Baking sheet
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • wire cooling rack toothpick

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place unbaked pie crust in 9-inch pie pan and set pan on a baking sheet.
  2. In large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until completely combined with no lumps.
  3. Add melted butter, lightly beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and milk all at once. Stir with whisk or spatula until just combined and smooth. Don’t overmix. Batter will be thick and glossy.
  4. Pour chocolate batter evenly into unbaked pie crust, scraping bowl to get every bit.
  5. Bake for 35-45 minutes until edges are set and pulling slightly from crust and center is still soft and slightly jiggly. Toothpick inserted near center should come out with moist, fudgy crumbs—not wet batter, but not clean.
  6. Cool on wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Pie will firm up significantly as it cools.
  7. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or chocolate shavings
