Tar Heel Pie is North Carolina’s answer to brownie pie—rich, glossy, and baked in a pastry crust instead of a pan. This Southern dessert sets into layers… crispy on top, gooey in the middle, and easy to slice clean. Serve it warm for a soft, pudding-style texture… or chill it for a firm, sliceable fudge. If you’ve never heard of it, you’re not alone—but this is one recipe worth discovering.
