Description
This classic Southern fudge pie is pure nostalgia. With a crisp buttery crust and a rich, gooey chocolate filling, it’s a no-fuss dessert that’s been passed down for generations. Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It might not win a beauty contest—but it will win over every chocolate lover at the table.
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 stick butter, melted
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix together sugar, melted butter, cocoa powder, flour, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
Pour the mixture into the unbaked 9-inch pie shell.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top has formed a slight crust.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Tips:
Serve warm for an ultra-gooey center.
Store leftovers covered at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5.
Try adding a pinch of instant espresso for an extra chocolate kick.
