Chocolate Chess Pie
Bake: 50 mins at 350°F
Ingredients
- 1 recipe Pastry for Single-Crust Pie (see recipe below)
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 3 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
1. Roll the pastry for the pie crust to form a 12-inch circle. Ease the pastry, without stretching it, into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge of the pie plate. Turn under the pastry and flute the edges as you like. Don't prick pastry. Set aside while making filling.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar and the unsweetened cocoa powder. Add milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt; mix well, but don't let mixture get too bubbly. Pour the mixture into the pastry shell.
3. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center of the baked pie comes out clean. (The pie will be quivery and puffed up a bit, but will firm up when cooled.) Cool on wire rack. Store in the refrigerator. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 4 to 5 tablespoons cold water
Directions

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cold water over part of the mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to the side of the bowl. Repeat moistening dough, using 1 tablespoon cold water at a time, until all the dough is moistened (4 to 5 tablespoons cold water total). Form dough into a ball.
