A rich and indulgent chocolate fudge pie perfect for dessert lovers.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Bake the pie crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven.
Blind-baking the crust prevents it from becoming soggy.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
Lowering the temperature ensures the filling cooks evenly.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and butter together, stirring until smooth.
Stir constantly to prevent the chocolate from burning.
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate mixture with the sweetened condensed milk, biscuit mix, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Mix thoroughly to ensure a consistent filling texture.
Fold in the chopped pecans, then pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.
Gently fold the pecans to maintain their texture.
Bake the pie for 35-45 minutes, or until the center is set.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.
Cooling helps the filling set for cleaner slices.
