I love when people teaching others something include their mistakes or when they run into something unplanned. You weren’t going to sift the cocoa powder, but there were a lot of hard lumps. So you stopped, shifted gears and sifted it. You whisked and things got a lil messy. You warned us to take it easy on the whisking. So often we see picture perfect/edited/unrealistic demonstrations that can leave a person feeling inadequate when they attempt something themselves. Thanks for keeping it real!

As an actual southerner, I’ve never made a chess pie that didn’t have at least a couple of tablespoons of flour in the filling. My go-to pie for all occasions is a coconut chess pie; everyone who tries it says it’s the best pie they’ve had in years. The funny thing about the coconut chess pie is that my mother used to make it all the time when I was little, back in the early 1970s. I didn’t think about it for years and years, but about a decade ago I had a memory of it so I asked my mother for the recipe. I made it and it was just as delicious as I remembered. I asked my mother where she had gotten the recipe, and she said she remembered it as having been in an old church group’s cookbook from the 1960s. She had written it down and put it in her notebook of recipes, so she hadn’t looked at the cookbook for probably 50 years. That Thanksgiving, I wanted to see if I could find a clue as to the origin of the recipe. My mother and I dug through a cabinet full of old cookbooks. We finally found the cookbook and we turned to the recipe. It was attributed to my mother! She had no memory of having submitted the recipe; she thought she’d gotten it from the cookbook. Needless to say, we never did figure out where she got the recipe. Now I make that pie for every family gathering, along with making my great-grandmother’s "brown-top" apple pie. I might have to throw a chocolate chess pie into the mix, although I’ll probably go with my whole-milk-plus-flour version rather than using evaporated milk. The flour just gives a chess pie its distinctive texture. It’s not supposed to be a cream/custard pie…

Hi thanks for sharing your story. I was wondering how you would make it? Or let's say if I follow his recipe when and how much flour should I add? I've never made this before and never even know about this so I would love to know how you make it! The coconut version sounds super good to by the way!!!

@@Alexie24Alexie the recipe I use has a few differences from John’s here. Mine has only two eggs, uses a cup of milk (instead of the evaporated milk) and has four tablespoons of flour. The rest is, I believe, the same. I whisk the flour and sugar together, then make it the same way John shows here. To do it as a coconut chess pie, simply leave out the cocoa and add one cup of unsweetened flaked coconut to the filling after you’ve mixed the rest of the ingredients. My recipe: 1 1/2 cups sugar 4 Tbsp. flour 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1 cup milk 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter 2 tsp. vanilla extract 1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut Pour filling into an unbaked 9" pie crust. Bake at 450° for 10 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350° and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes, until center is set but still slightly jiggly and the top has started to lightly brown. A few things I’ve learned after making this a bunch of times - don’t use an electric mixer to make the filling. You don’t want to whisk any air into the filling, so just gently stir everything together until smooth and uniform. Lightly toasting your coconut flakes adds a bit of depth to the coconut flavor. You can add more coconut (I use 1 1/2 cups sometimes) if you want more coconut flavor, but it changes the texture a bit. And don’t forget to turn the oven temperature down after 10 minutes! I’ve burned at least one pie that way…

chess pie is called that way because Albert Wallawickingham (1856-1912), journalist for a cooking magazine, was coming back home from buying a set of chess pieces when he stumbled upon a lady right outside her house selling chocolate pies, Albert was intrigued by such pies but didn't have any money on him. Yet the pies looked so good he offered the lady to trade his new chess set for a pie. the woman accepted and albert fell in love with the flavor. he then asked the lady for the recipe and published it in his magazine as "chess pie", where it stands as the first historical record of said recipe with this name.

Absolutely agree! Other cooks always tell me "oh, you won't taste the coffee in this, it will just make it taste super chocolate-y!" So far, in over 60 years of field trials, I have always been able to taste the coffee, including in many blind or deceptive trials (yes, people will lie to me about whether they included the coffee 'this time'). And it is definitely not an improvement. Start out with good chocolate (I prefer Callebaut or Valrhona) and don't spoil it with coffee.

This is what I found: Some folklore: One explanation suggests that the word is chest, pronounced with a drawl and used to describe these pies baked with so much sugar they could be stored in a pie chest rather than refrigerated. Another story is about the plantation cook who was asked what she was baking that smelled so great - “Jes pie was her answer.”
