Fudgy Chocolate Walnut Pie (cont.)
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9-inch pie pan with vegetable oil spray.
Using your hands, pat crumbs on bottom of pie pan. In a medium saucepan,
whisk together sugar, milk, and corn syrup; cook over medium heat until sugar
has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes, whisking occasionally. Remove from heat.
Whisk in cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Let mixture stand for 5 minutes,
whisking occasionally to help it cool slightly. Whisk egg substitute into
chocolate mixture until smooth; pour into pie pan. Sprinkle with walnuts. Place
pie pan on baking sheet.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until center is set (doesn't jiggle when pie is gently
shaken). Let pie cool on cooling rack for 30 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.
