Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started on this delicious Hot Fudge Pie, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt. I find that mixing these dry ingredients first helps to eliminate any cocoa lumps, ensuring a smoother pie texture in the end. Once they’re well combined, stir in the melted butter, followed by the eggs and vanilla extract. The batter will be thick and fudgy, which is exactly what you want!
