Chocolate Chess Pie I

SO EASY!! Fantastic! I’m so glad I read the reviews before making. I did as others suggested and added a pinch of salt, mixed for five minutes+ and foiled the edges of the crust before baking. This is the very reason I almost always come to allrecipes as the reviews are as helpful as the ratings. Thanks everyone! (BTW, some may want to actually cut back just a little on the cocoa and sugar, but I happen to like rich)

I made this recipe exactly as directed. I wouldn’t change a thing. It was much better than my previous favorite, brownie pie. Airier and lighter with all the rich chocolate taste. It is amazing with dark rich coffee, or with ice cream, or whipped cream and berries. It’s also very fast to make. It is important to whip for five minutes.

Upped the servings to 12 to increase the amount of filling (but I didn’t increase the sugar, leaving it at 1.5 cups). Used a tart pan to reduce the amount of surplus crust to avoid the over-browning of the crust problem. Turned out delicious and beautiful served with some freshly whipped cream.

My family loved it!

I have made this chocolate pie twice now and it is a very simple and quick pie to make when you want something chocolatey! I have not had any issues with the crust being over done. I use a frozen pie crust and pour the filling into the crust while it is still frozen. Secondly, I increase the bake time to 1 hr 10 minutes, leaving the pie uncovered for the first hour and then cover with foil the last 10 minutes and the crust is perfect. I used a deep dish pie shell and the filling doesn’t reach the top, so a regular pie crust might work better. The key I feel is to bake it long enough, cool on the counter, and then refrigerate for several hours before slicing the pie so that it is completely set before slicing. It’s very sweet and reminds me of a chocolate brownie.

I read every review and even compared to reviews of other chess pie recipes on this site. I ended up following directions exactly and pie came out like pudding pie. Taste was fine but look and texture not appealing. Not sure what is in the ingredients that will make it set up any different than just pudding. I have seen other chess pies that look more like a dense brownie. Can’t find that recipe anywhere.

This is my new favorite go-to pie! It’s easy to make, tastes great and it’s naturally gluten free since there’s no flour in it. I could also see the potential of making additions like caramel on top or chocolate chips in even adding a little peppermint flavor so it would taste like and Andes mint. Can’t wait to make it again!

love it, always a hit at my house

This pie! The only change I made was adding a pinch of salt. I used a deep dish pie shell. Big mistake. It set awkwardly, but the taste,..oh my gosh good!!

Easy and delicious! This pie will be added to pies I make regularly.

Super easy and delicious. It is quite rich so I cut into smaller servings.

I have made this pie a couple of times and everyone loved it! It is fast and easy, that’s why I love it!

This is a terrific pie. So few ingredients and so easy, especially when you use a pre-made frozen pie crust. I am an experienced homecook and my family is spoiled by the many delicious desserts that I have made over the years. I made it exactly as directed and my family loved it.

It was delicious

Father in law and hubby loved it.

my 1st attempt, top layer was crunchy sugar lol,followed all the directions to a t,my 2nd attempt turned out much better as I added 2 tbsp of flour. it came out beautifully fluffy!

No changes!

Covered the pie crust edges with tin foil to prevent over browning. A little longer to set than45 minutes.

Glorious! This would be a great base for a lot of things. I’d like to use the filling for bars (it’s quite sturdy!) and add something else on top. Soooo yummy.

I’ve been using this recipe for some time now. The family loves it.

This pie is easy to make and has excellent flavor.
