Make this rich, gooey hot fudge pie that tastes like a cross between a brownie and a molten lava cake. This simple recipe delivers decadent chocolate indulgence perfect for any occasion.

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
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  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 into the prepared pie crust. The batter will be thick.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center will still be soft and fudgy, similar to a brownie.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving. The center will firm up slightly as it cools.
  8. Serve the pie warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips.
  • If you prefer a slightly firmer texture, bake for an additional 5 minutes, but watch carefully to keep the center gooey.
  • This pie is best eaten the day it is made for the optimal warm, molten texture.
