Walnut Fudge Pie Recipes

CHOCOLATE-WALNUT PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Press pie crust in 8- or 9-inch pie plate; crimp edges as desired. Place in refrigerator.
• In large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar and salt. Add eggs, melted butter and vanilla; mix until combined. Stir in walnuts and chocolate chips. Spread evenly in pie crust.
• Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until pie is golden. Cool completely before serving, 1 to 2 hours. Top each serving with whipped cream.

FUDGE WALNUT PIE

Steps:

• In a double boiler, melt the mini marshmallows with the 3 Tbl. butter. stirring occasionally until melted and smooth.
• In a separate bowl, cream the 1/2 cup butter with the sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each until smooth.
• Add the cocoa powder and beat until smooth.
• Add the melted marshmallow/butter mixture and beat until well combined.
• Add the flour, salt, and extract(s) and beat until smooth.
• Pour into 9" pie shell. The filling will only fill the shell about 1/2 way, but it rises during baking (and then falls a bit when cooled).
• Sprinkle the walnuts over the top.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-40 minutes; until the edges are firm and the middle is set (a little more set than a cheesecake would be). Shield edge of pie crust with foil after 20 minutes, if needed, to prevent overbrowning.
• Cool to room temperature and chill at least 4 hours; overnight is better. The flavor will intensify after a couple of days.
• Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with shaved chocolate, if desired.
