A Piece OF Fudge

This Best Fudge Pie taste like a piece of fudge that has not had time to cool to its solid form.  One bite creates a warm, creamy, dreamy chocolate sensation in your mouth.

I know that sometimes I overuse the word “love,” but I love this pie.  It ranks up there as one of the best pies I have ever had.  The last time I fixed this fudge pie my special needs son Caleb, read more about Caleb in the About Roark section, who has selective mutism and rarely speaks said, “That was YUMMY!”  We were all so surprised!  Seriously, he rarely says a word due to his selective mutism.  I knew then that I needed to blog about this best fudge pie.

Real Meaning Of The Word Love

We often use the word “Love” so much that we forget the real meaning of the word.  

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 13, "Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." 

Best Fudge Pie Recipe

Our challenge is to show LOVE with our actions and not just to say, “I Love you.”

If we truly love someone, let’s try to show them or shock them with our patience, kindness, and more.  This Bible verse always hits me hard at the beginning when it says, “Love is patient.”  I am a work in progress, but I am happy to report that over the years I have made a lot of improvement.

Since Chocolate is frequently shared with someone, you love, bake them this Fudge Pie.  You will both love it.

Use a double broiler or a bowl on top of the pot as I am using and melt the butter and chocolate.

  1. I just found this recipe and would love to make it today for Thanksgiving!! It truly looks delicious!! I’m planning to use a frozen pie crust and was wondering if I would use a “regular” or “deep dish” frozen pie crust? Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!


  4. I like chocolate and dishes with it. I just made this pie and have to say it’s the best chocolate pie I’ve ever had. I followed your recipe exactly – and it was perfect. Thank you for sharing the great recipe.


  5. I like the disclaimer that a fudge pie isnt just a chocolate pie nor a brownie pie. I usually point that out to my friends as well haha! This is a lovely recipe. I enjoyed reading the words of wisdom along with it. This is indeed FOOD for THOUGHT. great site!

    • Rowan,

      Thank you for stopping by Recipes for our Daily Bread and leaving me a comment on my Fudge Pie recipe. It really is one of my favorite pies if not my absolute favorite.
      I hope you give it a try.

      Many Blessings,
      Diane

  6. I love chocolate and dishes with it. They look so attractive and delicious. I usually combine chocolate and peanut, because pieces of crushed peanut make cakes more greasy. Finish chocolate cakes by drizzling peanuts on top and you will see how perfect your cakes become! Try and enjoy it!

  7. Never mind my previous question! I followed the directions on the box of baking chocolate and microwaved it (putting the butter in after the second zap session). I’ll followup with my rating and, hopefully, rave review!

  8. I just made this pie and have to say it’s the best chocolate pie I’ve ever had. And I’m 62 years old and I’ve had my share of pies in my life! When I cut my pie it looked just like yours (and nothing I make seems to look like photo of the recipes I try). So that made me happy. I followed your recipe exactly – and it was perfect. I’m also pleased that it cuts so well. WINNER!!!!!

    • Lynn,

      I am so thrilled you loved this Fudge pie. It is one of my favorite pies. You make me want to fix one. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment on Recipes for our Daily Bread.
      Blessings and have a Wonderful New Year!

  9. Does this pie need to be refrigerated or can it stay at room temp?

    Also, the 2 tablespoons of butter on the crust seems like a lot, is that much really needed?

    • Summer,

      I love your name. Thank you so much for stopping by Recipes for our Daily Bread and leaving me a comment. I have never used Germans Chocolate. Is is sweet? If it is sweet, you may have to cut the sugar some in the recipe. I truly love this pie. It is so creamy and delicious. Let me know if you have any other questions.
      Blessings,
      Diane Roark

  11. Question-after baking this crazy awesome looking thing you’ve got here, can I freeze this pie?
    Thank for sharing, I will be making it this weekend!!!!

    • Mellie,

      This Fudge Pie NEVER last more than a day or two. I have no idea if you can freeze it. I would say yes because it is so much like fudge, but I am just not sure.
      Thank you so very much for supporting my blog and commenting.
      I truly appreciate your support!
      Blessings,

  12. Wonderful web site. Plenty of useful info here.
    I’m sending it to several pals ans also sharing in delicious.
    And of course, thank you for your effort!

  13. this looks absolutely scrumptious! Is there a substitute for the corn syrup in this recipe? I try to avoid artificial sugar as diabetes runs heavily in my family. I really want to try this fudge pie though!! 🙂

  15. Looks truely yummy! I love all things chocolate. This will be on my list for the next get together. I love bringing something new.
    Thanks

  16. WOW! This looks great! I’ll be adding this as something to try for our next “Party Bowl” family movie and dessert night:)

    • Sondra,

      This Fudge pie is my favorite pie. I eat it warm right out of the oven or heat it for a few seconds in the microwave. It is creamy and Wonderful!

      Thanks so much for stopping by. I make sure to follow your social medias.

      Blessings,

  17. This looks absolutely delicious… not exactly following our healthy eating kick at my house, but a cheat day may appear soon… My son would love this!

    Thank you for sharing!

  19. Oh my – this by looks sinful! BUT SOOO GOOD. I must have gained 10 lbs just looking at the pictures and reading the post. Might have to try this recipe. 🙂

    Happy SITS Day!

  20. Happy SITS Day. This pie looks and sounds yummy. I have some many food sensitivities (dairy, wheat, and eggs) so I can’t make it (because if I try making this for my family I would EAT it), but I enjoyed seeing the pictures and reading about it.

  22. This looks amazing. Have you tried it with a graham cracker pie crust, rather than a traditional crust? I’m going to have to make this one! Thank you! God Bless!

    • Johanna,

      I not kidding when I say this is my favorite pie. I always heat it up just a few seconds in the microwave. It is so creamy and delicious. I have not tried it with Graham cracker crust. I think it would work and taste great.

      Blessings,
      Diane Roark

  24. This looks delicious. I was wondering if anyone has tried making it with Splenda or another sugar substitute. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

    • Erlene,

      It really is one of my favorite desserts. I love the pecans but you could also use walnuts. Thanks you so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment.

      Blessings,
      Diane Roark

  26. I made this, only had 3 oz of the unsweetened chocolate, so went ahead and made the pie. The pie tasted so great. My hubby really liked it and he normally doesn’t care for chocolate. Since there was just the two of us, I froze half of the pie. Thanks for sharing.

    • Nina,

      I am so thrilled! You made my day!!! Thank you so much for leaving me a message and letting me know how it went.

      Blessings and thank you for your support!!
      Diane Roark

  27. This looks really yummy! Just wondering if it would still work if I left out the nuts?

    Just found your blog…can’t wait to try some recipes!

    Leah

    • Leah,

      You will need to bring the pie crust to room temperature in order to roll it out. I truly love this Fudge pie. Let me know what you think.

      BLESSINGS AND HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!
      Diane Roark

    • Kalie,

      I would refrigerate this pie. Just because it does have eggs in it. Let me know if you enjoyed this pie if you fix it. I truly love this fudge pie. It is one of my favorite pies. I warm my piece of pie in the microwave for a few seconds. It is so good!
