Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 175°C (350°F). This ensures even baking and a perfect crust for your pie.

Melt the Butter: In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cocoa powder.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the sugar and cocoa mixture into the melted butter, stirring well. Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.

Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Fold in Flour and Salt: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt, being careful not to overmix.

Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into a greased pie dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

Serve with Hot Fudge: Once baked, allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle with hot fudge sauce before serving. Enjoy your slice of heaven!
