Rule #177: Sometimes, things really do need to be easy as pie.
With all the craziness and uncertainty going on these days, we could all use a little treat that’s simple to make (and can be made with things still very much available at the store). My sweet Momma’s birthday was last weekend, and I wanted to bring her a little something sweet. This was the perfect, easy dessert to whip up and drop on her porch! We sang “Happy Birthday” from a distance, and it made us all feel a little more normal.
You’re going to need about 3 ounces of chocolate – whatever ya got works! Semisweet, milk chocolate, unsweet, whatever you have in your pantry or can find at the store will be just fine!
Melt some butter in a small saucepan.
Add in the chocolate, melt, and set aside to cool slightly.
Now, whisk some eggs together until fluffy (about 5 minutes). You can use a hand mixer if you don’t have a standing one, too.
Now, slowly add in some sugar. Beat until combined.
Then add in some flour.
Now add in some vanilla.
And finally the chocolate mixture.
Pour into a greased 9″ pie pan.
Bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until set.
I have to say, she ain’t the purtiest thing to come out of my kitchen, but she gets the job done. That’s the kind of dessert we need in our lives: simple, easy, delicious, and no frilly parts need apply.
You can eat Easy Fudge Pie just like this outta the pan, or top with some ice cream, hot fudge, or nuts! Go crazy!
