Fudge Pie-Chocolate to Soothe Your Soul

This pie should really be called something that involves getting dumped, failing a test, or PMS. Maybe “Stress relief Pie” or “Comfort Eating Pie”. This is the pie that would be whipped up from time to time whenever my world was ending as a teen or whenever my mother was having a particularly stressful time. It is insanely rich and definitely cures all ills. Not quite as easy as the Marshmallow/Icebox/Chocolate pie but way more intensely satisfying

Fudge Pie

4 eggs (whole)
1 1/2 c sugar
pinch of salt
1 heaping tbs flour
2 sq chocolate
1/4 lb butter
1 tsp vanilla

Melt chocolate and butter together. Beat eggs; add sugar and salt, then chocolate and butter that have been melted together. Stir in flour, add vanilla. Bake in greased 9 inch pie pan for 25 minutes at 350 degrees, then reduce heat to 250 degrees and continue baking for about 20 minutes.

    Do you put this in a baked pie shell?

    Nope. You could I suppose, but I never have.

    That sounds ridiculously easy. Too bad I’m not a chocolate person.

    Does this form its own crust or is it cake like on top like one of those cottage puddings?

    As my daughter once said when she was 2: “Chocolate makes me happy!”

    It turns out really like a fudge with a bit of a barely noticeable “magic crust.” Gooey, great with vanilla ice cream.

    This sounds so yum and so easy. Can you let me know what 2sq of chocolate refers to. I guess it means 2 squares but how much is a square? I am from Australia and a square of chocolate would be about inch square of chocolate. I am going to try it this week so if I remember I will come back and let you know how it went. I hope you can take some time to check out my blog at http://www.only-cookware.com/blog/
