pineapple blueberry chess pie
I was looking for something tangy, and I have always loved the texture and simplicity of a chess pie. My husband loves anything pineapple and I have a love of blueberries. This pie is best served chilled and is fantabulicious on a summer day! I've added some lemon zest for extra UMPHHH... Hope you like it!

This cool and creamy chess pie tastes of summer. The sweet citrus pineapple and the tart blueberries are the perfect combination. There is a hint of lemon that mingles with all the flavors giving this pie a refreshing flavor. Simple to make, this pie is perfect for summer.

How To Make pineapple blueberry chess pie
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 325. Mix sugar, salt, and flour; set aside.
-
Step 2Beat eggs until foamy.
-
Step 3Gently fold into dry ingredients. Once mixed, add melted butter, and the whole can of pineapple.
-
Step 4Fold in lemon zest and blueberries.
-
Step 5Fill pie crust and bake for 40 - 50 minutes until set... it will be a bit jiggly on the top. For those not familiar with "Chess Pie" this is a custard type pie in texture, creamy and smooth. I hear that chess pie should have cornmeal in it, I am no expert, LOL.

Step 6Chill for at least 2-3 hours before serving. I hope you enjoy :)
