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!Crustless Southern Fudge Pie recipe from The Country Cook

    Just one dessert? Hmmmm–7-layer chocolate cake was the first thing that popped into my mind. But I have many favorites, as my waistline will attest. 🙂

    My favorite is very simple…a chocolate brownie with or without icing, ice cream, chocolate sundae sauce, and whipping cream.
