Ingredients

Chocolate Chess Pie Filling- for a regular 9″ pie tin

  • 2 ounces Unsalted butter 56g
  • 2 ounces Dark chocolate (65% or higher) 56g
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk 130g
  • 1-1/4 cups Sugar 250g
  • 2 Tbsp Cocoa powder 20g
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Yolk

Instructions

  • Blind bake your crust using our step by step instructions (see above). Once the crust is golden, remove the pie from the oven and turn the heat down to 325F.
  • Place the chocolate and butter together in a large bowl. Slowly melt them together over a double boiler, (just a pot filled halfway with water, simmering gently, y’all), stirring often. Remove the bowl from over the double boiler and whisk in the buttermilk.
  • Whisk in the remaining ingredients. Pour over the pie crust. Return to oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center just begins to set.
