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 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined.
- Pour in the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center will remain soft and gooey, similar to a brownie.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve the hot fudge pie warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For a richer, more intense chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder instead of standard unsweetened cocoa.
- This pie tastes best when served warm, about 30 minutes after it comes out of the oven.
- If you want a firmer texture, bake for an additional 5 minutes, but remember the center should remain fudgy.
