EASY RECIPE!!! {Chocolate Chess Pie}

I absolutely LOVE this recipe!

As a Southern girl, I love some pies!! I’m very much on a pie kick right now, just like my cupcake, cake, and fro-yo binges in the past have played out – I can NOT get ENOUGH pie! I don’t know how I stay as small as I do.

When my sis was in town during the holidays, we watched “The Help” and could not take it any longer… we had to have some chocolate chess pie.  I will say – for all of you who have seen the movie – we fortunately left out Minnie’s “secret ingredient.”  Haha!

Try this out and I PROMISE you, your man, your kiddos, whoever, will LOVE it.  You might even make your grandmother jealous! J

Ingredients:

¼ cup butter

1 ½ oz unsweetened chocolate

1 ½ cups of sugar

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Pinch of salt

½ cup milk

2 eggs

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (I added a little extra!)

1 unbaked nine inch pie crust/pastry shell

Directions:

Melt butter with chocolate.  Combine sugar, flour, salt, milk, eggs, and vanilla and mix together.  In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate and butter mixture with the other mixture. 

Beat with electric mixer for 5-6 minutes.

Pour filling into pie crust/pastry shell.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes, until set.

Let stand, cool, and set for a few minutes after baking.

ENJOY!!!! J

peace and love
