Clayton Barnett’s grossmutter was a fantastic cook. Here’s a mouthwatering, super-easy recipe she called Chocolate Fudge Pie. Makes its own crust and contains no partially hydrogenated oil.

Melt together 2 squares bitter chocolate and ¼-pound butter
Add:
Two mixed eggs
1-cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1-teaspoon vanilla
(this will be fairly thick)

Pour into well-buttered 8″ pie tin. (9″ will work). Clayton’s grossmutter poked little tiny holes in the bottom to let out the steam, but no holes work just fine.
Bake at 300 to 325 degrees for 1 hour. Test after 45 minutes by inserting a knife and if it comes out Not Quite Clean, it is fudgy and done.

Cool.

Whip up a small container of heavy cream with about ¼ cup of sugar until cream stands in peaks. Cover pie with whipped cream. Decorate with shavings from a square of bitter chocolate.

Perfect for parties or to take to someone’s house if you are asked to bring dessert.
