Fudge Pie

Teresa Ambra
This delectable Fudge Pie is rich, decadent and, oh so heavenly. Each bite will have you swooning! The texture starts out like French Silk Pie and then becomes more fudge-like after refrigeration. It's a marvelous dessert for company and holidays like Easter, Mother's Day or special occasions and birthdays. If you're a chocolate lover, you won't be able to get enough of this pie!
