Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, flour, salt, and cocoa powder.
- Gradually whisk in the water until smooth. Add the butter pieces.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly temper the eggs by whisking about 1/2 cup of the hot chocolate mixture into the eggs, then pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, stirring quickly.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the hot fudge filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight wobble. This wobble ensures a gooey texture.
- Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the center to set up properly.
- Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
Notes
- For a fudgier texture, reduce the baking time by 5 minutes.
- You can use a store-bought crust to make this recipe even faster.
- This dessert is best enjoyed the day it is made.
