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.
This is right up my alley! It sounds wonderful.
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/
Its okay. I just searched on the net and a found that a square of chocolate is about 1 ounce. Thanks!
