Chess Pie
Chess pie is a custard-filled pastry dessert with butter, sugar, eggs, and a swappable flavoring agent baked in a pie crust until set. The filling bakes to a firm, slightly caramelized custard with a tender crust.
Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, prick the bottom with a fork, and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together softened butter and sugar until combined and slightly fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Sift in flour and salt, then whisk until smooth. Add vanilla extract and the chosen flavoring agent, whisking to combine.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
Bake for 40–50 minutes, until the filling is set but the center still has a slight jiggle when gently shaken. The top will be pale golden.
Remove from oven and cool to room temperature on a wire rack, at least 1 hour, before slicing.
