Make this rich, gooey Hot Fudge Pie that tastes like a cross between a brownie and a molten lava cake. This easy recipe delivers decadent chocolate perfection, best served warm with ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. Add the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pie crust.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center will still look soft and slightly wet, similar to a brownie. This soft center creates the gooey texture.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. The pie firms up slightly as it cools but remains fudgy.
  8. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, use a mix of dark chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • If you prefer a slightly firmer pie, bake for an additional 5 minutes, but watch carefully to keep the center gooey.
  • This pie is best eaten the day it is made while it is still warm.
