Ingredients for Applewood Farmhouse Hot Fudge Pie

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (50g) chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • Vanilla
  • Semisweet Chocolate
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

How to Make Applewood Farmhouse Hot Fudge Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter and 12 ounces (340g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring frequently until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup (50g) chopped pecans.
  5. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch prepared pie crust.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
