Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat eggs and then beat in sugar and melted butter.
- Stir in flour, cocoa, and salt into the egg mixture.
- Beat well until well blended. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
- Pour the mixture into a buttered 8-inch pie pan.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until set.
- Cool completely before cutting.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. You can also substitute the walnuts with pecans or omit nuts entirely for a nut-free version. Ensure your butter is not too hot when mixing, as this can cook the eggs. If you prefer a lighter texture, beat the egg whites separately and fold them in last.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fudgy chocolate pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. This dessert pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For a unique twist, consider drizzling with chocolate sauce or caramel sauce before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Alternatively, you can enjoy it cold, as the fudgy texture is delightful straight from the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour or almond flour for a gluten-free option. Keep in mind that the texture may vary slightly, so adjust baking time if necessary.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the edges are set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. It should not be liquid, but it will continue to firm up as it cools.

Absolutely! This pie can be made a day in advance. Just ensure it's completely cooled before storing it in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
