I went to a bakery in Murfreesboro, Tenn. and they served the fudge pie in small 2 and a half pans and 9 in pans. The pie was just a very firmer than a chocolate pie and the top had no skin or crust. If you know what I am saying and know the recipe, I am going to try and make it for Mother's Day. HELP!!!!

I made this over the weekend and will be making it for Thanksgiving! This pie was absolutely delish!!! So very easy! Very rich the whipped topping helps to tame the richness of it!

One of my coworkers made your Old-Fashioned Fudge Pie and it was absolutely de-lish! Another coworker made it and it was runny and tasted grain-y (like the sugar didn't mix well). Can you advise what may have happened? Thank you.

LOVE this pie! I make this pie and a pumpkin pie for the holiday and the Go well together. (not that a person would take both kinds of pie) I love how it takes no time at all and makes very little dishes!!!!!

Love, love, love this pie. I've made it at least two dozen times and it gets rave reviews every time. My suggestion to the folks that aren't getting it to set up, it's very important when the recipe says, "beat well," you really need to use a hand held mixer and beat it for at least a minute, if not two, to get the best results. Also, preheating a cookie sheet and placing the pie on it helps the crust cook more thoroughly and not end up "doughy" in the center. So simple, but soooo delicious! You're the best, Paula!

To those who are having a hard time with this pie setting up be sure to use large or even jumbo eggs........... that can make a big difference as the egg is what acts as the binding agent.
(or just add an extra one for good measure)

My family really enjoyed it. Although, mine didn't set up properly, I don't know what I did wrong. I'll probably try it again and see what happens. =)

I don't know what everyone that said this pie was runny did wrong, because my pie came out perfect. It was done in 25 minutes, and looked similar to a brownie. When I served it the pie was not hard, but soft. As the title suggests it was similar to the consistency of fudge. I will definitely make this again. For being so simple it is incredible! It is super rich. I served it with whipped cream and garnished with chocolate chips! Remember, since the recipe has very few ingredients to use good quality chocolate! Don't skimp! Thanks Paula!

Thanks Paula, I have made this many times and everyone wants the recipe. I make it into tarts to take to partys and they are the first to go. I always volunteer to make this because it is so easy

Honestly although this recipe is very simple it is hard to know when the filling is done. After 25 minutes my pie was still liquid in the center. I had to let it cook another 20 minutes to get solid, and it was a battle to keep the crust from burning. I give it 2 stars though because I really just don't think the taste is all that great. I want to guzzle down a pint of milk after I take 2 bites. I'm going to try the pound cake recipe next. Thanks.

I think this recipe needs to be named differenty. Something like "gooy fudge pie". I wish I would have realized that it comes out raw but the topping. Good for molten cake but not a pie. If you walk into the recipe realizing it is saucy then there are no surprizes.

Fabulous & yet so simple! Thank you, Paula! God bless you!
By DonnaWinningham on October 21, 2009
Absolutely FABULOUS! Thank you, Paula - this recipe was so simple, but delicious! God bless you & yours!

I made this pie and in one week I had made it 6 times and given the recipe out 6 times! This is so easy and sooooo yummy!!! For a change put a layer of pecans on the crust before pouring the chocolate in the shell. Add 10 minutes to the baking time. This is yummy too!!
