Can I freeze Texas pecan fudge pie?

Yes. Wrap tightly in foil and freeze for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

Can I make this without chocolate chips?

You can. The pie will still be rich from the hot fudge, though the chips add extra texture.

How do I know when it’s done baking?

The center should be set and not jiggly. A gentle wobble is okay, but it should no longer appear liquid.

Can I use a homemade pie crust?

Absolutely. Just ensure it’s a deep dish style and blind bake if needed to prevent sogginess.

What if I don’t have a deep-dish shell?

Use a regular shell and reserve about 1/4 cup of filling. Bake slightly shorter, around 35–40 minutes.

Ingredients

1 (9-inch) deep-dish prepared pie crust
1 (12 oz) jar hot fudge sauce
3 large eggs
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups chopped pecans
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the pie shell on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Remove the lid and film from the jar of hot fudge and microwave for 40 seconds until pourable.
Pour the fudge sauce into a large bowl. Add eggs, brown sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and one-third of the chopped pecans.
Pour the filling into the pie crust. Top with the remaining pecans.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the center is set.
Let the pie cool completely before serving.

Notes

You can use a homemade or store-bought pie crust.
Try dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
Top with pecan halves instead of chopped pecans for a decorative finish.
To make mini pies, use mini crusts and bake for 25 minutes.
