Thursday's Food Tip: Quick and Easy Fudge Pie

When is a brownie not just a brownie? When it’s a Quick and Easy Fudge Pie, of course!

I love brownies and most other people do, too. That’s why the Three Angels Gourmet Co. has a rich Raspberry Brownie Mix and we’ll be introducing our Amaretto Brownie Mix later this month.

But sometimes I want something a little more "fudgy" than a regular brownie, so I make this Quick and Easy Fudge Pie, which is a cross between a regular brownie and creamy chocolate fudge.

QUICK AND EASY FUDGE PIE

1 c. sugar

1/4 c. flour

4 heaping Tbsp. cocoa or 2 sq. chocolate, melted (I just use cocoa)

Blend above ingredients, then add:

1/2 c. melted butter

2 whole eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

Pour into greased 9 inch pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool. Place in refrigerator before serving. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

NOTE: Dress up each serving of pie with a topping of ice cream or whipped cream and a fresh berry or a few chocolate chips for garnish. Make swirls of chocolate syrup on each plate and lightly dust the whole serving with a little sifted cocoa powder.

Wow! Now you’ve got a dessert that is definitely "not just a brownie." Now you've got an impressive Fudge Pie that's perfect for even your most important dinner guests (you don't have to tell them it was Quick and Easy).
