Paula Deen's Old Fashioned Fudge Pie
The first time I had fudge pie was at a restaurant with my family when I was very young. I expected something, rich and creamy and dense like fudge, but when the pie was served it was just a chocolate cream pie. Everytime I see fudge pie on a menu that is exactly what I get, a chocolate cream pie. Needless to say I was very interested in trying this recipe. I made a few changes, the major change was using unsweetened chocolate in place of the semi-sweet chocolate. Semi-sweet chocolate with 1 cup of sugar is just too sweet. I added vanilla and a bit of salt. My pie is currently in the refrigerator cooling so I don't know how it turned out. I will try to post a pic or two and share my thoughts on how it turned out.
Paula Deen's Old Fashioned Fudge Pie
2 squares (2-ounces) semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Remove the pan from the heat and add the sugar, then the eggs; beat well. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake for 25 minutes or until just set. Serve warm or cold, with ice cream or whipped cream.
