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!

  1. Love Southern Living!

    My favorite dessert of all time is
    Tiramisu. Yummo!

    I am following Southern Living on FB.

  2. All-time favorite dessert? Ice cream – any flavor, any size, any shape, any topping. Ice cream. Great. Now I have to go to DQ. {SIGH} 😉

  3. I "like"d, "follow"ed and am commenting……been thinking of what my favorite dessert would be. Dessert might as well be my first name, because that is pretty much my favorite food. I love all your poke cakes, cheesecakes, most pies, ice cream, etc. Pumpkin pie (my mother's) would have to be my favorite dessert, though. Brings back lots of memories and gives me the "warm fuzzies" whenever I eat it. She's gone now, but I make it the way she did 'cause that's the best!

  4. I am "following" Southern Living on Twitter—and I retweeted the message and url about watching the Mississippi Mud Brownies!

  5. All time favorite dessert? That is a tough question. I suppose I could eat this any day of the week: It's light and fresh and I could eat a whole pan of it 🙂

  6. Right now it's a cross between homemade chocolate pudding and a double chocolate mousse torte. And you can't forget about the homemade whipped cream either!

  7. My all-time favorite dessert is a nice, cold custard pie sprinkled with coconut on top. I have always liked this, even as a child! Oh, I also "liked" Southern Living on FB.

  8. One of my favorite deserts has to be pumpkin & dumplings. I have not met any one who once they try it doesn't love it!
