Blue Ribbon Recipe

Your chocolate-loving friends will be begging for another slice of this chocolate chess pie. It's a snap to prepare and so tasty, you'll have no problem making it on request. Chess pies are custard-like with a slightly jiggly center. This version is full of chocolate flavor, too. When serving, add a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa for an impressive chocolate dessert.

How To Make chocolate chess pie

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl; beat 1 minute.

Step 2

Pour into pie crust.
Step 3

Bake for 1 hour. Covering the edges of the pie with a pie shield or aluminum foil for half the baking time will prevent the crust from over-browning.
Step 4

If the middle hasn't risen after an hour, cook the pie 5 to 10 minutes longer. Make sure the middle of the pie has risen so you know it has cooked completely.
Step 5

Let cool.
