• Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish and line it with the unbaked pie crust. Crimp the edges to create a decorative border.
• Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, flour, eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
• Step 3: Pour the chocolate fudge filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
• Step 4: Bake the pie for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
