  5. Grease an 8-inch pie pan with butter or cooking spray, then pour the batter into the pan.

How to Serve Hot Fudge Pie

Hot Fudge Pie is best served warm right out of the oven. You can slice it into wedges and plate it up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For an extra touch, drizzle some chocolate syrup on top. Guests will love pairing the warm pie with the cold ice cream!

How to Store Hot Fudge Pie

If you have leftovers (which is rare!), you can store Hot Fudge Pie in the refrigerator. Place it in an airtight container or cover the pie with plastic wrap. The pie can last for about 3 to 4 days in the fridge. To enjoy it warm again, simply reheat a slice in the microwave for a few seconds.

Tips to Make Hot Fudge Pie

  • Make sure your butter is softened before starting; this helps achieve a fluffy texture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; mix just until all ingredients are combined for the best fudgy results.
  • You can add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for an extra crunch.

Variation

If you want to switch things up, try adding a layer of fruit, like raspberries or cherries, on top of the batter before baking. This adds a nice tartness that balances the rich chocolate flavor.

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend if you want to make it gluten-free.

2. Can I freeze Hot Fudge Pie?
Yes, you can freeze the pie. Wrap it tightly in cling film and aluminum foil before freezing. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

3. How do I know when the pie is done?
The pie is done when the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft. It will continue to cook a little while cooling down.
