Chocolate Chess Pie
The flavor is chocolate and sweet with a buttery, flaky crust. The filling is creamy, thick, and smooth.
This recipe is incredibly simple to make. It would be a great recipe for a child to help bake.
Basic ingredients…
Chess pies are made with basic ingredients that you probably already have on hand, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and for my Chocolate Chess Pie, cocoa. There are all variations of chess pies now but the original was a vanilla pie. I have shared with you a Lemon Chess Pie and this chocolate version.

If I cut back on the sugar, say 1/2 cup, will it change the texture or mess up the recipe? Would I need to put something in the place of the sugar to balance it out?
T Orr says
Made this last night. Great pie!!
Aldana says
how could i replace the evaporated milk, cause in Argentina i cannot get it. thankss
Peggy says
Do you have a recipe for plain “Chess Pie”? Or would it be the chocolate version minus the cocoa?
Paula says
HI Peggy. I don’t know if there’s a difference but this Buttermilk Pie recipe tastes just like a chess pie to me. This is the link for it: https://www.callmepmc.com/2012/04/pmcs-buttermilk-pie-call-me-pmc/
Geraldine Jackson says
I’m sorry, but I have to disagree with the name of the pie. I have never made a Chess Pie, but all that I have eaten and all I have ever heard about ingredients in a chess pie, contain cornmeal. It sounds like a buttermilk pie but you use evaporated milk and the chocolate.
Petra says
Geraldine is correct. A true chess pie calls for 1Tbsp cornmeal

much ink wasted printing 6 pages . how about printing recipe only. after seeing all those delicious and lovely pics. makes you crave. joe—thanks for recipe. am going to write it down
Paula says
Joe, I’m so sorry, it should just print the recipe. I will check on it and try to fix that.
Paula says
Hi Joe, I fixed the recipe so that it prints only… at least for me. If you get this will you check and let me know if it works for you? Thanks and again, I apologize for the trouble before.
