Glenda's Fudge Pie - Help!

14 years ago

I tried Glenda's Fudge Pie today and although I haven't tasted it yet (it may taste fine), it isn't very pretty. I used a frozen deep dish crust as someone suggested, but found this wasn't really necessary as the filling didn't come to the top. I didn't pre-bake the crust. I baked the pie for 35 min. at 325 degrees. After looking at it, I decided the crust could be a little more brown, so I gave it 5 more minutes and then removed it from the oven. It looked fine when I took it out except for a circular crack about 3/4 inch in from the edge all the way around the pan. During the cooling process, however, the entire center of the pie sunk substantially along that crack line, while the outside edge stayed attached to the crust. I now have what appears to be a two tier pie. What would have caused this to happen?

Does it look like this?
If so then you will be fine.

Next time don't use the deep dish pie. But the depth of the crust shouldn't make a difference.

Microwave Fudge 3 cups chocolate chips 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk 2 Tbsp. room temperature coffee 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/8th teaspoon salt 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 cup chopped nuts if desired I use a four cup Pyrex measuring cup, add the three cups of chocolate chips, add the coffee and cinnamon and salt.I pour the sweetened condensed milk on top and microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir in vanilla. Stir it vigorously until it becomes smooth. I add nuts before I add the vanilla.....about a cup of chopped walnuts. Pour into a foil lined 8X8 pan which has been buttered and refrigerate for two hours. I used a 9X9 pan and non stick foil. There is a recipe using white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, 2 Tbsp orange juice and orange zest. Pretty much the same instructions and it is really good, too.

I was thinking about this pie just the other day! I have not made it, yet. Might just have to do that tomorrow. We love chocolate pie made with chocolate pudding. I have not tried the Bisquick pudding. I will keep that recipe to try, also. Thank you, Glenda! For those of you who don't want to, or can't roll pie dough, you might like to try this recipe. Some people call this the Bride's Pie Crust. 1/2 c. vegetable oil 1/2 t. salt 1/4 c. milk 1 1/2 c. flour Mix all ingredients together in your 9" pie plate until it forms a soft ball. Spread out with your fingers. Fill and bake. If you need a topping, use the mixture you would use on apple crisp. If you need a pre-baked crust, prick the crust with a fork, and bake. Fill when cooled.

Yes! I have had a crustless one before. You butter the pie dish then add the ingredients. I have an electric oven, and *****mine bakes in 30-35 minutes Searched crustless fudge pie and this is what I found: Spread batter evenly in a buttered 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 325 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes (pie will puff, then fall slightly).

Pile some Cool Whip on it, sprinkle some chopped pecans on it and call it good.

Yum! Send me a piece through the internet! Put whipped cream on the top and no one will know about the crack.

Yes! That's almost exactly the way mine looks. Mine is a little worse, I think, because I used the deep dish crust. That made it have a little further to drop in the center. It tasted pretty darn good, but it definitely needs a Cool Whip cover if it's going to be served to company.
