BOUNTIFUL HOT FUDGE SUNDAE PIE



Bountiful Hot Fudge Sundae Pie image

I've made this pie several times over the past twenty years and everyone always raves about it. It's especially good in the hot summer months after a BBQ or cookout. It's originally from an August 1981 issue of Bon Appetit magazine in a feature entitled "Cool Desserts". I've used both the Oreo crumbs in the box or the sleeve of chocolate wafer cookies by Nabisco and crush them in my processor

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Use real butter and heavy cream for the hot fudge, and fresh fruit and berries for the toppings.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • Be careful not to overcook the hot fudge. It should be thick and creamy, but not too hard.
  • Let the hot fudge cool slightly before serving so that it doesn't melt the ice cream too quickly.
