FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Can I use a pie crust instead? You can, but it isn’t necessary, the batter bakes up to form its own crisp edge and holds together perfectly without a crust. How do I know when the pie is done baking? The center should be firm and not jiggly when the pie is set. Bake until the outer edge is dome-like and the center no longer appears loose. Can I make this ahead of time? Yes, you can make it the day before, let it cool completely, then wrap and refrigerate. Just bring it to room temperature or warm slightly before serving. What can I use instead of pecans? If you’re not a fan of pecans, try swapping with walnuts or omitting nuts altogether for a smoother texture. What should I serve with this pie? I think it looks its best when the slices are served with some ice cream or whipped cream and a little drizzle of Hershey’s chocolate sauce. But you can top with whatever toppings you enjoy. How should I store leftover pie? Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Can I freeze this Southern Fudge Pie? Freezing is not recommended for this recipe, as the texture can change and the pie may lose its signature fudgy quality.

HOW TO MAKE SOUTHERN FUDGE PIE:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. In a small saucepan, over low heat, cook butter and chocolate. Stirring often until melted (then take off heat).
Beat eggs at medium speed with an electric or stand mixer for 5 minutes. Gradually add sugar, beating until blended.
Then gradually add chocolate mixture.
Then add flour and vanilla extract, beating until blended. If you’re using a stand mixer, it’s important that you continually scrape down the sides so everything mixes evenly. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
Pour batter into pie plate. Bake at 350F degrees for 35-40 minutes. The center should be firm when finished. Let pie cool.
Then slice and serve with ice cream, chocolate syrup and remaining chopped pecans.
