Preheat Your Oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pie dish and bake for 25–30 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still jiggle slightly.
Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce!
Common Questions About Hot Fudge Pie
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! You can bake the pie in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Warm it in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes before serving.
Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet?
Absolutely! Milk chocolate will make the pie sweeter and creamier. Just be sure to adjust the sugar slightly if you prefer a less sweet dessert.
Is it freezer-friendly?
Yes! Wrap the cooled pie tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
What if I don’t have a pie dish?
You can bake this in an 8×8-inch square pan for more of a brownie-like dessert. Adjust the baking time slightly, checking for doneness around 20–25 minutes.
How do I know if it’s done?
The edges should pull away from the sides, and the center should still have a slight jiggle. If you insert a toothpick, it should come out with moist crumbs—not raw batter.
