Ingredients
1 9-inch deep dish premade pie crust
1 jar (12 oz) hot fudge sauce, slightly warmed
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups pecans, roughly chopped
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Slowly stir in the warmed hot fudge sauce until well combined.
Fold in the chopped pecans.
Pour the mixture into the chilled pie crust, spreading evenly.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set.
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to ensure the fudge sets properly.
Notes
Serve slightly warmed with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for a contrast in temperatures. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To refresh, warm individual slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
