CHOCOLATE CHESS PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cornmeal, cocoa and salt. Add eggs, melted butter, corn syrup and vanilla; mix well. Pour into unbaked pie crust.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until mostly set - there will still be a little bit of jiggle in the center when you shake the pie. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing (it will continue to set as it cools). If the pie is still a bit too soft after cooling, chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours to firm it up.

DOUBLE-CHOCOLATE CHESS PIE

Steps:

• Crust: Pulse flour and salt in a food processor to combine. Pulse in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds. Pulse in egg yolks.
• While pulsing, add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Pulse until mixture holds together as a soft but not crumbly or sticky dough. Shape dough into a disk and wrap in plastic; refrigerate until firm and evenly moist, about 30 minutes.
• Lightly flour clean work surface and a rolling pin. Place dough in center of floured surface. Roll out dough, starting in center and rolling up to, but not over the edge. Give dough a quarter turn and continue rolling, repeating quarter turns until you have a disk about 1/8 inch thick.
• Transfer dough to a 9-inch pie dish. Gently tuck dough into pie dish, being careful not to stretch or pull dough. Let dough settle into bottom of pie dish. Take a small piece of dough and shape it into a ball. Use ball as a tool to press around bottom edges of pie dish, snugly shaping dough to pie dish without tearing it. Crimp or flute edges as desired. Prick bottom of dough all over with the tines of a fork to help prevent shrinkage during baking. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line dough with parchment, pressing it into corners and edges, then fill with dried beans, rice, or pie weights. Bake until sides are golden, 25 minutes. Remove beans and parchment; continue baking until crust is light golden-brown, 5 minutes more. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
• Filling: In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pan of simmering water, melt butter and chocolate. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. Add sugar, cocoa, cornmeal, and salt; whisk well to combine. Add butter-chocolate mixture, buttermilk, and vanilla; whisk well to combine. Pour into warm crust.
• Bake until set and not wiggling, 45 minutes (cover with parchment-lined foil if pie is getting too dark during the last 15 minutes of baking). Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely, at least 2 hours.

CHOCOLATE CHESS PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place Regular 9" pie shell on a cookie sheet, or pizza pan.
• In small microwavable bowl melt chocolate chips, and margarine in microwave on low heat or manual defrost for 3mins or until melted. (Do not over heat or popping will occur).
• Combine in med size bowl eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, and flour then mix with electric mixer on low setting or fork until blended approximately 1 minute.
• Stir melted chocolate chips, and margarine with a fork until blended then add to above items, and blend with electric mixer on low setting until combined.
• Pour into Regular 9" Pie Shell and bake 30-45 mins until crust is a med golden brown.
• (Do Not over cook crust as it will change the flavor.) My motto is if the crust is a med brown and the center of the pie has stopped shaking, it's time to stop this pie from baking. Pie will thicken some upon cooling.
• Let Cool approximately 15 mins and cut into 8 slices before serving. Add whipped topping if desired.
• NOTE: When I Make 2 pies I use 2 small bowls, and 2 med bowls then mix as directed above because it changes the flavor of these pies if you double the ingredients in the same bowls.
• Variations: Plain Chess Pie Omit chocolate chips from recipe.

• Chocolate/Peanut Butter Variation 1/8th cup peanut butter, and
• 1/8th cup semisweet chocolate chips.
• Note: In The Variations with peanut butter, you do Not need to melt the peanut butter in the microwave.
