Fudge pie is a decadent gooey pie that originated in the south back in the early 1900’s. This is an easy recipe to make especially if you need a delicious last minute dessert.
I made this for a BBQ we hosted on July 4th and our friends could not stop raving about it. It pairs nicely with my homemade blackberry chocolate chip ice cream pictured in the photo below.
This recipe is from Kenneth’s grandmother who was a phenomenal cook and made this frequently. It has been passed down for four generations and is one of our favorite family desserts.
