**Decadent Hot Fudge Pie**
This pie is surprisingly easy to make and is sure to impress!
**Yields:** 8-10 servings
**Prep time:** 20 minutes
**Bake time:** 35-45 minutes
**Ingredients:**
-
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
-
* 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
-
* 2 cups granulated sugar
-
* 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
* 1/4 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, ice cream, chocolate shavings
**Instructions:**
-
**Preheat and Prep:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet.
-
2. **Combine Dry Ingredients:** In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined and no lumps remain.
-
3. **Add Wet Ingredients:** Add the melted butter, lightly beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Stir with a whisk or a spatula until just combined and smooth. Don’t overmix! The batter will be thick.
-
4. **Assemble the Pie:** Pour the thick chocolate batter evenly into the unbaked pie crust.
-
5. **Bake:** Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft and fudgy. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
-
6. **Cool:** Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. The pie will firm up as it cools.
-
7. **Serve:** Serve warm or at room temperature. It’s absolutely divine with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Enjoy every single fudgy, chocolatey bite! Let me know if you try it and what you think!
