Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 store-bought or homemade pre-made pie crust
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat and stir in the cocoa powder until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and eggs. Whisk together until well blended and slightly frothy.
Gradually add the cocoa and butter mixture to the egg and sugar mixture. Stir until completely combined.
Sift the flour and salt together to eliminate any lumps, then add them to the wet mixture. Stir gently until everything is fully incorporated.
Mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Prepare your pre-made pie crust by placing it into a 9-inch pie dish and crimping the edges if necessary.
Pour the fudge filling into the pie crust and spread it evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. The edges should be firm.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Slice and serve as is, or pair with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
