We are having some friends over tonight for dinner. When I was thinking about what we would have for dessert, this recipe popped in my mind from many years ago. My sister-in-law at that time, had developed a recipe that we had hoped would be exactly like the fudge pie we always ordered at a restaurant there in Corpus. After many attempts, this is the recipe that she finally thought would give us that same flavor. We top it with whipped cream and just used a chocolate crumb pie shell to make it even easier. It is a one bowl fudgy flavored great recipe…easy and yummy….get the whipped cream ready.
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tables flour
2 tables cornstarch
3 teas unsweetened cocoa
2 tables water
1 1/2 tables melted butter
2 eggs
1 (12 oz) can of evaporated milk
1/2 cup coconut
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1 teas vanilla
1 unbaked pie shell (I use the Keebler Chocolate Crumb shell)
Preheat oven to 375.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cornstarch and cocoa. Add water, melted butter and whisk until mixed well. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the milk, vanilla, coconut and nuts. Mix until combined. Pour into pastry shell and bake in preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Cool completely and top with whipped cream.
