Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz unsweetened chocolate
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 9-inch prepared crust pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined with the chocolate mixture.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and add a pinch of salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared 9-inch pie crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly cracked, but the center still jiggles slightly when shaken.
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. The filling will continue to set as it cools.
Serve slices of the fudge pie on their own or top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
