Chocolate Chess Pie Recipe Cornmeal

OLD-FASHIONED CHOCOLATE CHESS PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350F.
• Slowly melt the butter so that it remains creamy. It should stay emulsified and not separate into clear yellow, runny butter. I melted mine in the microwave in short bursts at medium power until it was mostly melted, then I whisked it until all the butter was melted. Pour the creamy melted butter into a medium-sized bowl.
• Add the dark brown sugar,* making sure there are no lumps in it, the cocoa powder, eggs, cornmeal, epsresso powder, vanilla and salt.
• Whisk very well to make a smooth batter. Scrape the bowl a couple of times to make sure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated in the batter.
• Pour the batter into the frozen pie crust.
• Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the entire pie is puffed up but is still a little jiggly in the center. You may have to cover the crust with foil after the first 20 minutes or so to prevent over-browning, so keep an eye on it.
• Remove the pie from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Serve warm or cold, with or without ice cream or whipped cream.
• Enjoy!
