Chocolate Chess Pie recipe is a rich, fudgy Southern dessert recipe made of the most basic ingredients. Always a crowd pleaser, this Chocolate Chess Pie has the tastes and texture of an undercooked brownie.

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.

Sometimes, I like to turn the TV on the Food Network while I cook and pretend I’m a celebrity chef. Today for my guests 😉 I’m whipping up this Southern classic pie.

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.

There is a lot of chocolate flavor packed into this buttery, flaky crust. You can make a homemade crust like my Never Fail Pie Crust or Coconut Oil Pie Crust. Both recipes are delicious and easy. (Click title for those recipes.) Or, you may use a store-bought pie crust as I did.

    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?

    Do you have a recipe for plain “Chess Pie”? Or would it be the chocolate version minus the cocoa?

      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.
