Chocolate Chess Pie Recipe

Pie Filling

1. 1

   Prepare the Pie Crust

   In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Preheat Oven

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

3. 3

   Roll Out the Dough

   On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit your pie pan. Transfer the dough to the pie pan and trim the edges. Poke the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.

4. 4

   Make the Filling

   In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and cornmeal until smooth.

5. 5

   Pour Filling Into Crust

   Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared pie crust.

6. 6

   Bake the Pie

   Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and a bit jiggly in the center.

7. 7

   Cool and Serve

   Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
