Peanut Butter Fudge. Pi Day Recipe: Chocolate Chess Pie. There are hundreds of different pies in the Southern arsenal (and almost as many cookbooks on the subject), so choosing a pie to make for National Pi Day proved to be quite difficult.

Pi Day Recipe: Chocolate Chess Pie

When I finally narrowed it down to chocolate, my decision didn't exactly become easier. There's chocolate fudge pie, chocolate cream pie, chocolate pudding pie, chocolate chip pecan pie... Well, you get the drift. Once I whittled down the option to chocolate chess, hundreds of variations seemed to appear before me. But when it came down to it, the only main difference between all those recipes seemed to be the addition of evaporated milk.

Before baking, I thought I preferred the filling with evaporated milk. But what happened in those 45 minutes in the oven was definitely a game changer. In the end, the chocolate chess pie is quintessentially Southern. Chocolate Chess PieAdapted from Southern Pies by Nancie McDermott Serves 8 Preheat oven to 350°. Lower oven temperature to 325°.
