CHOCOLATE FUDGE PIE WITH NO CRUST
This pie is pretty neat because it kind of makes it’s own crispy outer edge so no crust is needed. It slices up perfectly and is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Also, if you have seen the move ‘The Help” – I promise this one doesn’t include that other special ingredient. Ha!

If you’re using a stand mixer, it’s important that you continually scrape down the sides so everything mixes evenly. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.

I swapped vegan butter and a gluten free cup-fo-cup flour to satisfy allergy requirements. Turned out superbly. Thanks for reminding me of a childhood favorite. I hadn’t made this in over 40 years. It brought back great memories.
Made this and loved it! Thank you!
good and chewy
