Make this rich, decadent Hot Fudge Pie that tastes like a warm brownie. This easy recipe delivers a gooey chocolate filling perfect for serving warm with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined.
  3. Add the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Pour the rich fudge filling into the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center will still look soft and gooey, similar to a warm brownie.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve the pie warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream for the best experience.

Notes

  • For a truly bakery-style fudge pie, use high-quality dark chocolate chips.
  • You can prepare this pie ahead of time and reheat individual slices gently in the microwave before serving warm.
  • This dessert is excellent for family gatherings or holiday chocolate treats.
