Description
Rich, chocolatey, and irresistibly gooey, this Hot Fudge Pie is the ultimate dessert for chocolate lovers. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or let it cool for a dense, fudgy slice.
Ingredients
- 1 stick (½ cup) butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch pie pan with butter or non-stick spray.
2️⃣ Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugar for about 3 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3️⃣ Add the Eggs and Vanilla
Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract gently by hand until fully incorporated.
4️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, salt, and flour. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring by hand until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender texture.
5️⃣ Assemble the Pie
Pour the batter into the greased pie pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
6️⃣ Bake
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center remains slightly wobbly for a molten texture.
7️⃣ Cool and Serve
Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving warm for a gooey consistency, or let it cool completely if you prefer a firmer texture.
