This easy chocolate chess pie recipe is so delicious you’ll become hooked after just one bite. Rich and decadent are the best two words to describe this chocolate chess pie from an old family recipe.
Use a wire whisk to mix ingredients. Whisk for about 2 minutes.
Place the pie crust onto a cookie sheet (this helps to prevent spillage and also helps with handling a pie in and out of the oven). Pour filling into pie shell. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until set and not jiggly. SEE NOTES BELOW!!
Notes
(A) The pie filling won't be thick before baking; in fact, it will be quite liquidy. This is OK! After the pie bakes and cools, it will thicken nicely.(B) I've had people tell me they've baked the pie for up to 50 minutes, so please check the pie often. If the crust starts to get too brown before the pie is done, you can remove the pie from the oven and cover the edges of the crust with foil; then return pie to oven to finish baking.(C) If the filling does not seem to be firming up after the pie cools, go ahead place the pie in the refrigerator and leave it there for a couple of hours or overnight. This should firm up the filling.(D) Store chocolate chess pie in the refrigerator.
