Chocolate Fudge pie. That's right. I know I could write on a heavier topic (pun intended), but not today. Today needs a slice of pie. So by-pass the memoir I'm writing, the items that need to be engraved in our wood working shop, all the things that are still unresolved, and let me focus on something that adds an instant smile.
This pie is super easy to make! Give it a try!
Enjoy with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
Chocolate Fudge Pie
From the kitchen of Alice Wisler
Bake a 9-inch pie shell at 375 F. for 10 minutes. Remove pie shell and reduce heat to 325 F.
While the pie shell is baking, make the filling. In a sauce
pan, over low heat, melt ¼ cup butter or margarine and 6 ounces of semi-sweet
chocolate chips. Stir well and then add 14 ounces (1 can) sweetened condensed
milk. Remove from heat.
Mix together: ½ cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp
salt. Beat in 2 eggs. Add the chocolate mixture to the flour
mixture. Stir until smooth. Add 1 tsp vanilla. Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts
(I use pecans).
Pour the batter into the pie shell.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes at 325 F. Cool.
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
