Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the beaten eggs, sugar, cocoa, melted oleo, Eagle Brand milk, and vanilla.
- Pour the mixture into an 8-inch pie shell.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 minutes or until set around the edge.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark cocoa instead of regular cocoa powder. If you don't have oleo, unsalted butter works as a great substitute. Make sure to beat the eggs well for a fluffier texture. You can also add a pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness. This pie is great served warm or chilled, so feel free to experiment with serving temperatures.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this decadent fudge pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Easy Vanilla Sauce drizzled on top. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside Maryann'S Pasta Salad for a satisfying dessert and side combination.
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 about 15-20 seconds or warm the whole pie in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of Eagle Brand milk?
Yes, you can use sweetened condensed milk as a substitute for Eagle Brand milk, or even make your own using regular milk and sugar. However, using Eagle Brand will give you a richer taste and creamier texture, which is ideal for this fudge pie.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. It will continue to firm up as it cools. If the edges start to crack, it’s a sign that it may be overbaked, so keep an eye on it during the last few minutes.
Can I add other nuts or ingredients to this recipe?
Absolutely! While chopped pecans add a lovely crunch, you can substitute them with walnuts or even chocolate chips for a different flavor. Just be mindful of the total volume of add-ins to maintain the pie's texture. You can also sprinkle some sea salt on top for a sweet-salty contrast.
