Fudge Pie
Course: DessertDifficulty: EasyServingsservings
Ingredients
11 tablespoons (1 stick + 3 tbsp) butter or margarine + more for greasing pan
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 and 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup flour
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
- Place an oven rack in middle position, preheat to 350 degrees. Melt butter and chocolate together in a double broiler, stirring occasionally.
- Combine sugar and flour in a large bowl, mixing them together. Add eggs, mix well. Add vanilla, salt and walnuts and mix again. Add melted butter and chocolate, mix until thoroughly combined.
- Heavily rub bottom and sides of 8-inch or 9-inch pie pan with butter. Pour mix into pie pan and bake for 25-35 minutes. Insert knife into pie after 25 minutes, repeating every 2 minutes until knife comes out clean (or almost clean, as my knife never comes out totally pristine).
- Remove pie from oven and let cool on a rack, then move pie to the refrigerator for at least several hours (I prefer overnight). Serve it cold, cutting it into slices.

Notes
- For the chocolate chunk variation, it is the same except for the following:
- — Instead of 1 1/2 cups of sugar, cut back to just 1 cup
- — Use 3/4 semi-sweet chocolate chunks instead of 1 cup chopped walnuts
- — It seems to be ready right at 25 minutes, maybe a couple minutes longer, but no more than that
