Red Velvet Fudge Pie

Servings: 2 Pies

Ingredients

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix plus ingredients needed to make the cake on back of the box
  • 1 stick of unsalted butter
  • 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts or your favorite prepared pie pastry
  • extra chocolate chips for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven according to the back of the cake mix box directions.
  • Prepare the cake mix according to the back of the box. I like to use milk (or buttermilk) instead of the water called for, and add 1 extra egg. I feel it gives a more homemade taste.
  • Spray 2 pie dishes with nonstick cooking spray. Line the pie dishes with the pie pastries.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared pie crusts. Bake according to the instruction on the back of the box for 2 round cake pans.
  • Once the cake is done, prepare the chocolate fudge topping. Combine the butter, chocolate chips, & sweetened condensed milk in saucepan. Cook, while stirring, on medium heat until melted & smooth. Pour the chocolate fudge topping on evenly on top of the 2 pies. Garnish with chocolate chips, if desired.
  • Allow the pies to cool to set.
  • **For some extra decadence, double the chocolate fudge topping.
