Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 pie plate
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 oven
  • measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

For the Fudge Pie

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust Only use the refrigerated crusts
  • 6 Tbs unsweetened cocoa
  • 6 Tbs all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 Cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 Cup peanut butter
  • 2 eggs room temp
  • 8 Tbs butter melted and cooled
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Two hours before making this pie, set the pie crust and the eggs out on the counter to come to room temp.
  • Melt the butter in the microwave – place in a coffee mug and microwave on high for about 1 min. Preheat the oven to 350. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and set aside. Unroll the pie crust and center on a deep dish pie plate, press into the bottom of the pie plate and crimp the edges of the pie crust.
  • In a medium bowl, add the cocoa, flour, sugar and mix well, whisking together is usually best. Add the peanut butter, eggs, vanilla and butter. Mix again until well combined. The pie filling will seem very thick.
  • Pour and spread the filling into the pie shell and bake at 350 for 45- 55 mintues. Pie is done when the surface no longer looks wet.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Notes

    • As with any baking recipe, you'll want to whisk the dry ingredients together first in a bowl. This helps them to become fully mixed together.
    • It helps for mixing if the peanut butter is a very creamy brand and is room temp to a little bit warmed.
    • Use a good name brand cocoa. I generally use Hersheys or the Aldi brand.
    • Allow the melted butter to cool before adding so that it doesn't cook the eggs when you add it to the mix.
    • Use any crust you like to use but for money and time purposes, I like to use the premade Pillsbury crusts that are in the refrigerated section of the store by the canned biscuits
