Chocolate Chess Pie with Graham Cracker Crust
If you love chocolate pie you'll LOVE this Chocolate Chess Pie - it's like a fudgy brownie in a pie crust! I'm making it with a graham cracker crust for a change - it's the perfect pie tradition.
PRINTABLE RECIPE:
RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS
CRUST:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 9 whole graham crackers)
14 cup granulated sugar
7 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
FILLING:
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces semisweet baking chocolate chopped
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 large egg white
1 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups chopped (I used minis, but any size is fine, just chop them), optional (see note)
Chocolate Whipped Cream for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Note on the pie: if you’re using a 9” standard pie plate it will be a very full pie, as you can see from the photos. Bake it on a cookie sheet just in case, but it should not spill over. You can use up to a 10” pie plate, but do not use anything smaller than 9”. If you have a 9” deep dish pie plate, you can use that as well.
Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grind the graham crackers in a food processor until they are a fine crumb. (You can also place them in a large gallon size ziploc bag and roll them with a rolling pin.) Place in a bowl and stir in sugar and melted butter with a fork. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-10” or 9” deep dish pie plate. Bake until firm, about 10 minutes.
Make the filling: Melt the butter with chocolate in a medium sized bowl. I did this in the microwave, heating on high in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. (You can also do it in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.)
Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, whisk in the flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Whisk in eggs and egg white, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the chopped peanut butter cups, if using. Pour mixture into prepared crust. Bake until the top is puffed and filling is set in the center, 35-45 minutes. Let cool, serve at room temperature. Top with whipped cream or ice cream. (Note that I get pretty slices because I chill my pies a few hours before cutting. That’s the secret to perfect slices!)
RECIPE NOTES
You can leave out the peanut butter cups or swap it with chocolate chips or nuts for other variations.

Betty's Chocolate Chess Pie
Betty demonstrates how to make a Chocolate Chess Pie. This pie is similar to the traditional Southern Chess Pie, but it also contains cocoa powder.
Chocolate Chess Pie
1 unbaked 9-inch pastry shell (pie crust)
1 ½ cups sugar
3 ½ tablespoons cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 eggs, well-beaten
¼ cup butter, melted
5-ounce can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
whipped cream and fresh mint leaves, for garnish
In a large bowl, stir together sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Add beaten eggs, melted butter, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Mix well, using low to medium speed of an electric mixer, until smooth. Pour into an unbaked pastry shell (pie crust) and bake at 350 degrees (F) for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until center is set. (A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.) Let cool completely and then cut into wedges. Serve with whipped cream and fresh mint leaves. Enjoy! --Betty :)
