The exact origin of the name is uncertain, but there are a few theories out there. Some say it comes from the saying \u201cjust pie.\u201d Others believe that it comes from the term \u201ccheese pie,\u201d as the custardy filling has a similar texture to cheese. No matter what you want to call it, one thing is for sure! This pie is extremely delicious and easy to make.<\/p>\n<p>The filling consists of just a few ingredients \u2013 sugar, butter, eggs, cornmeal, and vinegar \u2013 that are mixed together and poured into a <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/grandmas-perfect-pie-crust\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">pie crust<\/a>. The result is a sweet and tangy filling that has a lovely golden brown, caramelized outside once it\u2019s baked. It\u2019s the perfect dessert for when you\u2019re short on time or don\u2019t want to spend hours in the kitchen. Plus, it\u2019s versatile \u2013 you can enjoy it on its own, with a dollop of <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/homemade-whipped-cream\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">whipped cream<\/a>, or with a scoop of ice cream. No matter how you choose to serve it, I know you\u2019ll love its custard-like texture and sweet flavor!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-ingredients-needed\">Ingredients Needed<\/h2>\n<p>This is a popular dessert recipe because it uses so many simple, pantry staple ingredients. Pick up a refrigerated pie crust from the store, and you\u2019ll probably have everything else you need ready to go at home! (If you\u2019re feeling ambitious, you can also <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/grandmas-perfect-pie-crust\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">make your own crust<\/a>! It\u2019s a lot easier than you\u2019d think.)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Unbaked Pie Crust<\/strong>: This is the shell that will hold your sweet, delicious filling. Whether you choose a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/pillsbury-ready-to-bake-pie-crusts-14-1oz-2ct\/-\/A-13016500#lnk=sametab\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">storebought crust<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/butter-pie-crust\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">make your own<\/a> from scratch, a good, flaky crust is key to creating the perfect pie.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Melted Butter<\/strong>: This is what gives chess pie its rich, buttery flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Large Eggs<\/strong>: Eggs are the glue that holds everything together in your pie filling. They also give it a delicious, custard-like flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar<\/strong>: Sugar adds sweetness and depth of flavor to the filling, and also helps to create a caramelized crust on top. (It\u2019s so delicious!) You can use honey or maple syrup as a substitute as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornmeal<\/strong>: Gives the pie a little bit of texture and crunch. It also helps to thicken the filling!<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-Purpose Flour:<\/strong> Flour helps to thicken the filling and give it structure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong>: A pinch of salt helps to balance out the sweetness of the chess pie and bring out the other flavors in the filling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2% Milk<\/strong>: Milk adds creaminess and richness to the filling. It also helps to create a smooth, velvety texture. I used 2%, but you can use whole milk, <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/oat-milk\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">oat milk<\/a>, or nut milk instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vinegar<\/strong>: White vinegar adds a tangy, slightly acidic flavor to the filling. You can also use lemon juice or apple cider vinegar if that\u2019s all you have on hand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla Extract:<\/strong> For an extra boost of sweet flavor. Try making your own blend at home using my recipe <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/homemade-vanilla-extract\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-make-chess-pie\">How to Make Chess Pie<\/h2>\n<p>Only 10 minutes of prep and then it\u2019s off to the oven! With how easy chess pie is to make, you\u2019ll see why it\u2019s such a popular Southern dessert! Sweet, creamy goodness made with minimal effort.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Prepare Crust: <\/strong>Prepare the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/grandmas-perfect-pie-crust\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">homemade<\/a>\u00a0pie crust using my recipe, or use a store-bought pie crust if you\u2019re short on time. Roll out pie dough and place it into a pie dish. Finish the edges however you like!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Melt Butter: <\/strong>Melt the butter in a saucepan or in the microwave then allow it to cool.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whisk Eggs: <\/strong>In a small mixing bowl whisk the eggs until blended well then set aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dry Ingredients: <\/strong>In a large mixing bowl add the granulated sugar, cornmeal, flour, and salt. Stir until combined.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine With Wet Ingredients: <\/strong>Add the milk, vinegar, vanilla, and whisked eggs to the dry ingredient mixture. Whisk together until incorporated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Butter: <\/strong>Mix in the cooled butter until smooth and combined.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add to Crust: <\/strong>Pour the chess pie filling into the prepared crust. Carefully place the pie on a baking sheet and into the preheated oven.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake: <\/strong>Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or the until edges are set. It\u2019s normal for the center to wiggle slightly. Cover the pie with foil for the last 10 minutes if the edges of the crust are getting too brown.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool: <\/strong>Allow the pie to cool for 1 hour before slicing and serving. Dust powdered sugar on top of the pie before serving if you desire!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Store: <\/strong>Cover and store leftover pie in the refrigerator.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Collage of chess pie filling being prepared.\" class=\"wp-image-207576\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" title=\"This classic Southern dessert is a delicious combination of sweet, tangy, and buttery flavors all wrapped up in a flaky crust.
