How to Make Hot Fudge Pie

Step 1 of 11

Start with a pie crust. Preheat oven to 425 and roll out your dough. I use the recipe from my derby pie snapguide but you can use a store bought dough if you want to skip making your own

Step 2 of 11

Be sure to gently prick the bottom of your dough and bake for about 10 minutes. As you can see there's only a little color. You just want it pale and firm

Step 3 of 11

For the filling: in a small pot, warm and melt a stick of butter. Swirl it gently until it turns caramel in color. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat

Step 4 of 11

Once removed from heat, add one and a half squares of unsweetened chocolate. It's important to completely remove off stove and add chocolate. If not you will scorch the chocolate

Step 5 of 11

In a small container add 2 eggs, a cup of sugar and 2 tsp vanilla. Mix well as beat for about a minute. Add that to the chocolate mixture and stir well

Step 6 of 11

Next add 2TB evaporated milk and 1/4 cup cake flour and a pinch of salt

Step 7 of 11

Pour this into your pre baked pie shell and bake at 350, for about 20-25 minutes

Step 8 of 11

Notice it will crack a little when it's done. The middle will still be somewhat jiggly but that's exactly how it's supposed to feel. It's a giant underbaked brownie basically!

Step 9 of 11

The filling will be gooey yet will slice perfectly warm

Step 10 of 11

See what I mean! Crunchy top and firmly goo and rich chocolate..get the ice cream and strawberries..

Step 11 of 11

Enjoy!

Andrew it's in the baking isle of the grocery store. Usually next to chocolate chips, in a box and will be marked semi sweetened choc as there are two kinds: semi sweet and unsweetened

Carlos you can absolutely exchange out chocolate! I'm sure it would be just as delicious. The squares are an ounce each the measured equivalent to 1 1/2 ounce is 3 Tablespoons. So measure 3TB of chocolate and melt. There you go! Good luck and thanks!!

I really want to make this for Thanksgiving and I wanted to know, for the chocolate, how big are the squares? Also, can milk chocolate be used or is semi-sweet simply better (my mom loves chocolate but if its too strong she gets sick)? Thank you :)
