You need this rich, gooey chocolate fudge pie recipe! It tastes like a warm brownie baked right into a crust. This easy, old-fashioned dessert is perfect for holidays or any time you crave a decadent chocolate fix.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 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 chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt until fully combined.
  3. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until you have a smooth, thick batter. Do not overmix.
  4. If using, stir in the chopped nuts.
  5. Pour the rich chocolate batter evenly into the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center should still be slightly soft and gooey, like a brownie.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This allows the fudgy center to set properly.
  8. Serve slices warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for the ultimate chocolate indulgence.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the sugar with 1/4 cup of packed light brown sugar.
  • This pie is fantastic served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, making it a true hot fudge pie dessert experience.
  • If you want a crackly top, let the pie cool fully before slicing. If you prefer it molten, serve it slightly warm.
