Chocolate Fudge Pie Recipe Pioneer Woman

CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir or whisk together.
• Pour in milk and egg yolks, and whisk together.
• Stir over medium heat until the mixture just barely comes to a boil and becomes thick, about 6-8 minutes (maybe less, maybe more; just watch it!) The second it starts to bubble and thicken (note: It should be thick like pudding!) remove it from the heat. Add the chocolate, vanilla, and butter, and stir until everything is beautifully combined.
• Pour the pudding into the pie crust (if there is extra, spoon it into small dishes) and place in the fridge to chill for 4 hours uncovered.
• Cut into slices and serve with whipped cream!

BAKED FUDGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Beat the eggs until light in color. Beat in the sugar until just combined. Add the cocoa, flour, melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix gently until well combined.
• Pour the batter into 4 large ramekins. Set the ramekins into a larger pan halfway full of water.
• Bake until the upper crust is crispy and the rest of the batter is firm but not set, 40 to 50 minutes. If you pull it out of the oven and have second thoughts, stick it back in for 10 more minutes.
• Serve with sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

LADD'S CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, stir together the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Pour in the milk, then the beaten eggs. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate, butter and vanilla. Stir until the chocolate is all melted. Pour into the baked pie shell and chill in the fridge for several hours until set.
• Serve plain to Ladd, serve topped with everything for Ree!

SWEET AND SALTY FUDGE

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
• In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread to even out the surface. Top with spoonfuls of the peanut butter. Using a skewer or butter knife, swirl the peanut butter into the chocolate mixture. Sprinkle over the crushed chips and pretzels. Let the fudge cool for 30 minutes on the counter, then lightly cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Lift the foil out of the pan and peel it from the fudge. Cut into small squares to serve.

CHIPOTLE FUDGE

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch square pan with foil and smooth the surface. Spray the foil with coconut oil spray.
• Combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and chipotle and adobo in a double boiler over medium heat. Heat, stirring, until melted and smooth, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Immediately pour the mixture into the foil-lined pan. Use an offset spatula to smooth the surface, then sprinkle it with sea salt. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Cut into small squares.
