Tips on Making Fudge Pie
It’s always good to have an old fashioned chocolate pie recipe that you can pull out when the situation calls for a chocolate dessert. Who says no to chocolate? Here are the best tips on making it so that you come up with an impressive homemade pie every time:
- Use good quality chocolate. It’s the main flavor of your easy chocolate pie and after all – it’s the star here! First, we recommend using couverture chocolate. It’s good for baking because it has a higher cocoa butter content than your regular snack chocolates. As a result, your baked goods will come out more decadent and rich. Aside from that, you can also make a combination of semi sweet, milk, and dark chocolate.
- Use store-bought refrigerated pie crust or make your own. Here’s a flaky pie crust that works well for this recipe. Alternatively, you can also bake this pie on a graham cracker crust which needs no blind baking.
- Mix in other delicious ingredients to this chocolate pie. Nuts like pecans or walnuts, for instance, will add some texture! You can also add a splash of kahlua to intensify the chocolate flavor. The alcohol cooks off, but the flavor remains.
- Aside from evaporated milk, you can use half and half to make it richer. On the other hand, for a lighter option, you can use oat milk or your favorite nut milk. But who are we kidding here? Chocolate is an indulgence. We can enjoy it once in a while with all the fat.
