Servings: 8-10
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30-35 minutes
Total Time: 40-45 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or more if you’re a chocoholic)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch pie dish or an 8×8-inch square baking pan with butter or nonstick spray.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. You can use a hand mixer or just stir by hand with a whisk.
- Add the Dry Ingredients:
- Stir in the flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa powder. The batter will be thick—don’t worry, this is exactly how it’s supposed to be!
- Add the Chocolate Chips:
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. The more chocolate chips, the better!
- Pour and Bake:
- Pour the batter into your prepared pie dish or baking pan. It will look like a thick, brownie-like batter, and that’s just perfect.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges are slightly puffed. Don’t worry if the center is a bit jiggly—it’s meant to be a gooey, fudgy masterpiece!
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. It’s best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of whipped cream on top.
Do’s and Don’ts
DO:
- Serve it warm with ice cream! It’s like a hot fudge sundae in pie form.
- Try adding a pinch of instant coffee or espresso powder to the batter to enhance the chocolate flavor.
DON’T:
- Overbake it! The gooey center is the star of this pie, so be careful not to bake it too long.
- Skip the chocolate chips—unless you’re allergic, those melty chips make the pie extra dreamy.
Pro Tips:
- For an even richer flavor, you can melt 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips and swirl them into the batter before baking.
- This pie keeps well in the fridge for a few days, but it’s best reheated so it stays fudgy and gooey.
This Hot Fudge Pie is the ultimate treat for chocolate lovers! With its warm, fudgy center and rich chocolate flavor, it’s the kind of dessert that will have you scraping the plate. 🍫🍰🔥
