Easy Chocolate Chess Pie
You’ll love this pie recipe for an easy dessert that’s homemade. It’s super simple, especially if you use a pre-made (store bought) pie crust. Just roll out the crust over a pie pan and pour in the liquid chocolate filling. As it bakes, the filling forms a lightly crunchy crust on top, with creamy chocolate inside. It’s so yummy.
This pie is perfect to enjoy as is or you can get creative with toppings. Add whipped cream, a dollop of peanut butter, some butterscotch chips, a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of chocolate fudge, or even a handful of sprinkles. Chocolate goes with so many different toppings. This Chocolate Chess Pie provides a great base to decorate for any occasion. You’ll love to have this recipe on hand for last minute celebrations.
