Make this rich, decadent fudge pie that tastes like a warm brownie in a crust. This easy recipe delivers a gooey center perfect for serving warm as a hot fudge pie with ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked deep-dish pie crust
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet.
  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.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Pour the batter carefully into the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center will still look soft and slightly jiggly, which creates the gooey texture.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. This allows the fudgy center to set properly.
  8. Serve slices warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the best hot fudge pie experience.

Notes

  • For a denser, more brownie-like texture, you can chill the pie for several hours or overnight before serving.
  • If you prefer a slightly crisper top, sprinkle a small amount of coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
  • This pie is excellent made ahead of time and reheated slightly before serving warm.
