The texture is very similar to a custard pie or flan, but there are no eggs. With the cinnamon sugar topping, it is like creme brûlée and snickerdoodles had a baby!

Rich, indulgent, and gooey, Chocolate Fudge Pecan Pie is quick and easy, requires no mixer, and has no corn syrup! It’s a delicious new classic!
