CHOCOLATE FUDGE PIE
This is like chocolate fudge and very rich and super decadent just like chocolate fudge, so I made the servings smaller. Trust me it is so satisfying that you won’t be able to sit down to a huge slice in any case. If you are looking for a really chocolaty dessert, this one won’t disappoint. My husband is a huge fan of chocolate desserts, so he kept most of this pie for himself.
I think I would skip the pie crust next time as the filling was wonderful on its own, in order to cut down on calories. The filling is not baked and if you decide to use the pie crust, you don’t actually have to bake it either, as it will set up in the fridge due to the good amount of butter in the pie crust.
Many chocolate fudge pies are actually made with cocoa and butter. I think I will try another chocolate fudge pie with that combination instead of chocolate chips, as that would be cheaper; however, if you are looking for a super chocolaty dessert, this pie will not disappoint.
Whipped
cream is used; however, you can substitute heavy cream. I used a
9-inch pie dish; however, technically, if you are going to skip the pie
crust, then you could pour the filling into a 9-inch square glass dish
and cut smaller pieces to enjoy, as this is so rich.
This was a favorite of my husband. He zooms when he has chocolate and gets all kinds of work done, so keep that in mind, ladies! I used salted butter in this pie; however, I think unsalted butter would have been even better, or maybe a mix of salted and unsalted butter.
If you want an even deeper chocolate flavor, replace some of the chocolate with Baker's chocolate or a fancy Ghirardelli chocolate, 70% cocoa Lindt chocolate, etc.
Chocolate desserts are delicious and as I said my husband really appreciates them. I have a number of chocolate pie desserts, so I will link to them below for your perusal. Hope you find one that you like!
The sweetener tables for all the most common scenarios are in my cookbooks for your convenience. For example, ¾ cup sugar sweetness (not ¾ cup liquid) using my bottle of sucralose from the EZ-Sweetz brand (whether the smaller one of 0.5 oz or the bigger yellow bottle of 2 oz – Zero carbs) would be 18 or 36 drops respectively. Here is an article and video about the sweeteners. Part 1. There is another article and video here: Part 2.

altogether and make this a no-bake pie.
The butter in the crust will help the crust set up in the fridge. I actually prefer it unbaked.
