Ingredients
For the Crust:
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
-
1/4 cup ice water (more if needed)
For the Fudge Filling:
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
2 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for extra gooeyness)
Instructions
-
Make the Crust: In a bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water and mix just until the dough comes together. Chill for 30 minutes.
-
Prepare the Filling: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract, then stir in the flour and chocolate chips (if using).
-
Assemble and Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the fudge filling into the crust.
-
Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes until the center is just set. The pie should still be a little soft in the middle for that perfect gooey texture.
-
Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
Notes
-
For a richer flavor, add 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the filling for an extra gooey texture.
-
Be cautious not to overbake the pie, as it will firm up significantly after cooling.
-
For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour in the crust with a gluten-free flour blend.
-
This pie pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
