HOT FUDGE PIE

This Hot Fudge Pie recipe is a wonderfully simple yet decadent dessert, perfect for those who love rich, chocolatey flavors. Let’s go through the steps to make it:

Ingredients:

  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures the pie cooks evenly.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is fluffy. This should take about 3 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Once the butter and sugar are well combined, add the eggs and vanilla. Switch to mixing by hand at this point. This helps to retain the gooey texture of the pie.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gently stir in the cocoa powder, salt, and flour by hand until everything is well combined. Be sure to mix just enough to incorporate the ingredients, as overmixing can lead to a cake-like texture.
  5. Prepare the Pie Pan: Grease an 8-inch pie pan with butter or cooking spray. This prevents the pie from sticking and makes serving easier.
  6. Pour the Mixture and Bake: Pour the pie mixture into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set. The key is to bake it just enough so that it’s set but still retains its gooey, fudgy texture.
  7. Cool Before Serving: Allow the pie to cool slightly before cutting into it. This settling time helps the pie to firm up a bit, making it easier to slice.

Enjoy your Hot Fudge Pie as is, or enhance it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat. This dessert is sure to satisfy any chocolate lover’s cravings with its rich and gooey texture.
