Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • Oven
  • 9-inch pie pan

Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 1 cup butter ensures a rich, decadent base for your pie.
  • 2 cups granulated sugar adds sweetness and helps achieve that iconic gooey texture.
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder delivers the deep chocolate flavor.
  • 4 large eggs binds the ingredients together and gives a delightful creaminess.

Base

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Begin by melting 1 cup of butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir gently until completely melted, about 3–5 minutes.
  • Once melted, remove the pan from the heat and gradually stir in 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder.
  • Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes before adding the eggs. Whisk in 4 large eggs, one at a time, combining thoroughly after each addition.
  • Gently fold in 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie pan thoroughly.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pie pan and use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges look set and the center remains slightly gooey.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before serving, pairing it with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor, and cool the pie before slicing to maintain its fudginess.
