This recipe creates a rich, gooey chocolate pie with a texture similar to a warm brownie baked inside a buttery crust. It is a simple, comforting dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 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
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into 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 with a whisk until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are acceptable.
  4. If using nuts, gently stir them into the batter now.
  5. Pour the chocolate batter evenly into the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The edges should look set, and the center should still be slightly soft and gooey when gently shaken.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Cooling allows the fudgy center to set properly.
  8. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm. This pie pairs well with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For a truly foolproof result, use a pre-made, blind-baked crust if you prefer a crispier bottom, though this recipe works well with an unbaked crust.
  • If you want to serve this as a Hot Fudge Pie, warm individual slices gently before serving with ice cream.
  • This pie is dense; for easier slicing, chill it for at least 2 hours after cooling completely.
