How to Make Chocolate Shoofly Pie Lancaster County Pa Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and shortening. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until dough just comes together. Press dough into a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. Prepare the molasses filling: In a large bowl, whisk together molasses, brown sugar, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Prepare the chocolate topping: In a separate bowl, melt butter and chocolate together. Stir until smooth.
  5. Pour the molasses filling into the prepared pie crust.
  6. Carefully pour the melted chocolate mixture over the molasses filling, creating a swirl effect.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For best results, chill for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
