KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Southern Fudge Pie
Prep Time:10 mins. Cook Time: 40 mins
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup salted butter
3 (1 oz) unsweetened chocolate squares
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped pecans, divided use
Toppings: vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, chopped pecans
METHOD:
•Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
•In a small saucepan, over low heat, cook butter and chocolate, stirring often until melted (then take off heat). Beat eggs at medium speed with an electric or stand mixer for 5 minutes. Gradually add sugar, beating until blended.
• Gradually add chocolate mixture.
• Add flour and vanilla extract, beating until blended. If you're using a stand mixer, it's important that you continually scrape down the sides so everything mixes evenly.
Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Pour into pie plate. Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes. The center should be firm when finished. Let pie cool. Then slice and serve with ice cream, chocolate syrup and remaining chopped pecans.
