This Hot Fudge Pie is pure chocolate decadence—with a rich, brownie-like center that stays gooey and warm, just begging for a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s the kind of dessert that makes you close your eyes and sigh after the first bite. Best part? It’s crazy simple to make with pantry staples and zero fuss! 💥🍨
📝 Ingredients
- 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional: chocolate chips or nuts for extra indulgence
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or line with parchment paper.
2️⃣ In a mixing bowl, stir together the melted butter and sugar until combined.
3️⃣ Add in the eggs, vanilla, and salt. Mix until smooth.
4️⃣ Stir in the cocoa powder and flour until no dry streaks remain. (Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.)
5️⃣ Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish and smooth the top.
6️⃣ Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still fudgy. (It will firm up slightly as it cools!)
7️⃣ Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of hot fudge sauce. 😍
💡 Tips for the Best Fudge Pie Ever
- Want a molten center? Slightly underbake and let rest 10 minutes before serving.
