Crust Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs or crushed Oreo cookies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
Toppings
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
- Shaved chocolate (optional)
- Chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Caramel drizzle (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Begin by crushing your graham crackers or Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix them thoroughly with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your pie dish to create an even, compact crust that forms the sturdy yet crumbly base.
- Make the Fudge Filling: In a microwave-safe bowl or on a stovetop, gently melt the chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk and butter, stirring often until smooth. Gradually whisk in the eggs one at a time to create a rich, silky mixture. For extra depth, stir in espresso powder if using. Pour this filling evenly over the chilled crust.
- Bake the Pie: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Bake the pie for about 30 minutes or until the filling is mostly set but still slightly jiggly in the center to keep it fudgy. Remove from oven and let it cool to room temperature before moving to the next step.
- Chill and Add Toppings: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to firm up fully. Before serving, top generously with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Garnish with shaved chocolate, nuts, or a drizzle of caramel as desired.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate chips or bars for better flavor.
- Do not overbake to maintain a gooey, fudge-like consistency.
- Press crumbs tightly for a sturdy crust that doesn’t fall apart.
- Allow sufficient chilling time for the pie to set properly before slicing.
- Customize toppings such as whipped cream with sprinkles, sea salt, or espresso powder for added flavor.
