Make this rich, decadent chocolate fudge pie that tastes like a warm brownie in a pie crust. This easy recipe delivers a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture perfect for any occasion.

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 (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined.
  3. Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk together.
  5. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. If using, stir in the chocolate chips now.
  6. Pour the batter into the unbaked pie crust. The batter will be thick.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center will still be slightly soft and gooey—this is key for the fudge texture.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. The center will firm up as it cools.
  9. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. This pie pairs well with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For a Hot Fudge Pie, serve the pie warm, about 30 minutes after it comes out of the oven.
  • If you prefer a denser, more brownie-like texture, bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, checking frequently.
  • This recipe works well with a pre-made graham cracker crust for an even quicker preparation.
  • This is a high-CPC phrase: Best Fudge Pie Recipe.
