You can dress it up with a dollop of whipped cream or add peppermint or caramel flavoring. This would be a fantastic treat to serve around the holidays, but sweet tooths would also welcome it year-round.<\/p>\n<p>With just 45 minutes of prep time followed by 35 minutes of baking, it\u2019s easy to make this pie the day you plan to cut and serve it. But because you don\u2019t need to refrigerate it overnight before serving, making it one or two days prior is also fine.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Fudge Pie<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Single-crust pie dough: <\/strong>To make your own pie crust from scratch, use our recipe for a reliably delicious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/classic-butter-pie-pastry\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/classic-butter-pie-pastry\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pie crust<\/a>. You need just four ingredients: all-purpose flour, salt, cold butter and ice water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unsweetened chocolate: <\/strong>You want unsweetened chocolate here because you\u2019ll add sugar to the recipe. This way you can control the sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter: <\/strong>Similarly, unsalted butter is best when baking as the salt won\u2019t interfere with the other ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar: <\/strong>Pure cane granulated sugar, the most common type used for baking, is either white or light brown in color.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour: <\/strong>This flour is most commonly used for cooking and baking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs: <\/strong>For this recipe, you\u2019ll need two large eggs. If you don\u2019t have large eggs, two medium eggs will also work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract: <\/strong>This ingredient adds sweetness to the pie, not necessarily vanilla flavor, and helps the pie filling soften.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Step 1: Form the dough into a pie crust<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2067180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Fudge_Pie_TOHD24_89375_KaylaWidmer_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Overhead shot for Taste Recipes Fudge Pie, unbaked crust in a pie tin.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Kayla Blydenburgh for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to a 1\/8-inch-thick circle and transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the dough to 1\/2 inch beyond the rim of the plate; flute the edge.

To bring these two flavors together in this pie recipe, all you have to do is drizzle caramel sauce on top. This is the same kind of sauce you would use to top an ice cream sundae. Or, make homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/caramel-sauce-recipe\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/caramel-sauce-recipe\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">caramel sauce<\/a> using our recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Put a holiday spin on the pie: <\/strong>If serving this pie around the holidays, a touch of peppermint will make this pie taste like peppermint fudge, a popular nostalgic treat around that time of year. Add \u00bd to 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the filling, depending on how much peppermint flavor you want.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How to Store Fudge Pie<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve made this pie, store it in the fridge or at room temperature, but it tastes best chilled. You can also freeze the pie to enjoy later.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can you freeze fudge pie?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As long as the pie is covered, it will keep in the freezer for up to six months. You could also freeze individual slices of pie to enjoy here and there, taking care to thaw before serving.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How long does fudge pie last?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After the pie is baked, store it at room temperature for up to three days, or in the fridge for up to five days. Regardless, make sure the pie is covered.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can you make fudge pie ahead of time?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, absolutely! If you\u2019re planning to serve this at the end of a feast, make this the day before to save time, then store the pie covered in the fridge or at room temperature.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Fudge Pie Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2067187\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Fudge_Pie_TOHD24_89375_KaylaWidmer_8.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Beauty up shot for Taste Recipes Fudge Pie, serving baked pie on a plate.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Kayla Blydenburgh for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can I make this pie gluten-free?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As the only ingredient in this recipe containing gluten is the flour, all you have to do is swap that out for a gluten-free flour and then follow the recipe as-is.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do I make mini fudge pies?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Follow the filling recipe as written and then fill mini pies instead of a large pie. You can either make these crusts yourself or buy pre-made.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What can I do to avoid a gritty fudge filling?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Do not overmix or obsessively stir the filling. The more you do, the more the sugar will crystalize, creating a gritty texture.
