How to Make Ancho Chili Fudge Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter and let cool to room temperature.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 1 ½ cups (187g) granulated sugar, ½ cup (60g) packed brown sugar, and 1 ¼ cups (150g) all-purpose flour. Mix until smooth.
  5. Add the cooled melted butter and mix well.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup (100g) chopped pecans or walnuts, 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1-2 tablespoons ground ancho chili pepper (start with 1 tbsp and adjust to taste).
  7. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch prepared pie crust.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving warm, topped with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  10. **To grind ancho chilies:** Soften 2-3 ancho chilies in hot water for 30 minutes. Drain, remove stems and seeds, and grind in a blender until a fine powder is formed. (Do not substitute chili powder for the authentic flavor.)
