Notes
Tips for Making the Best Fudge Pie:
Use a hand mixer for best results.
Use a refrigerated pie crust or homemade.
If using a frozen pie shell, only pour the filling to the inside top edge or the pie will overflow. Or use a deep-dish pie shell and adjust baking time accordingly. Note: We only recommend a homemade or refrigerated pie crust in a standard 9-inch pie plate, not a frozen one. See our testing notes for details.
