Indulge in the decadent charm of Sweetheart Fudge Pie, a rich and velvety dessert that’s perfect for any chocolate lover. Featuring a luscious filling made from unsweetened chocolate, creamy butter, and a touch of vanilla, this pie delivers fudgy perfection in every bite. Baked in a golden, flaky pie crust and topped with optional dollops of whipped cream and chocolate shavings, it’s both elegant and indulgent. With just 15 minutes of prep time and simple pantry staples, this easy, crowd-pleasing treat is perfect for Valentine’s Day, date night, or any moment that deserves a little extra sweetness. Serve it chilled or at room temperature for a slice of pure chocolate bliss.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in the flour and salt until the mixture is smooth and thick.
Pour the fudge filling into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top develops a glossy crust. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. The filling will set further as it cools.
Slice the pie and serve as is, or top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an extra indulgent presentation.
