Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the margarine and add the sugar and lightly beaten eggs.
- Blend in the vanilla and the dry mixture of flour and cocoa.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch pie pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F until the pie is set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the flour mixture. If you're out of margarine, unsalted butter can be used as a substitute. Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better emulsification. This pie is quite fudgy; adjust baking time slightly for a firmer texture if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fudge pie warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. For a special touch, drizzle with chocolate sauce or serve alongside fresh berries. This dessert pairs beautifully with Yummy Cauliflower as a light side dish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sweetener instead of sugar?
Yes, you can substitute sugar with alternatives like coconut sugar or a sugar substitute that measures like sugar. Keep in mind that this may slightly alter the texture and sweetness level of the pie.
What can I do if the pie is too fudgy?
If the pie turns out too fudgy, try baking it a bit longer in future batches to achieve a firmer texture. Additionally, reducing the amount of margarine by a tablespoon can help balance the richness.
Is it possible to make this pie gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the blend is designed for baking to achieve the best texture and flavor in the fudge pie.
