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 a Southern classic, Chocolate Chess Pie.

Chocolate Chess Pie

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. (Click title for those recipes.) Or, you may use a store-bought pie crust like 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?
