Indulge in the rich, gooey delight of Hot Fudge Pie—a decadent dessert that combines the best of brownies and pie. With a fudgy center and crisp edges, this treat is perfect for chocolate lovers seeking a quick and satisfying sweet fix.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until combined. Let cool slightly.
  3. Whisk in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. The batter will be thick.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the center is set. Do not overbake.
  7. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. The pie will firm up as it cools.
  8. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
