A classic Southern dessert that is simple to make and incredibly satisfying with its rich, fudgy filling and crackled top.

  • Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
1 ½ cups Granulated sugar
2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon Salt
2 large Eggs
½ cup Unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon Whole milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon White vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie plate. Crimp the edges decoratively
  2. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt
  3. Melt Butter: In a separate microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter completely
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the melted butter, whole milk, vanilla extract, and white vinegar to the dry ingredients. Whisk everything together until well combined and smooth
  5. Add Eggs: Beat the two large eggs lightly in a small bowl. Then, gradually add the beaten eggs to the chocolate mixture, whisking constantly until the filling is perfectly smooth
  6. Pour into Crust: Carefully pour the chocolate filling into the prepared unbaked pie crust
  7. Bake: Transfer the pie plate to the preheated oven. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly puffed, but the center still has a slight jiggle
  8. Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature for at least 2-3 hours before slicing and serving

Notes

Use quality ingredients for the best flavor.

The pie is done when the edges are set and slightly puffed and the center jiggles slightly.

Allow the pie to cool completely for optimal slicing.
