Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Mix sugar, flour, cocoa, eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Pour the batter into a prepared pie crust (regular or graham cracker).
- Bake for 45 minutes or until set.
- Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa. If you're short on eggs, you can substitute each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce. Make sure your butter is melted but not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs when mixing. This pie can also be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fudge pie warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For a special touch, sprinkle with chocolate shavings or nuts. This indulgent treat makes a great ending to a meal featuring American recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the fudge pie to cool completely before storing. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or place the entire pie in a 325°F oven for about 10 minutes until warmed through.
