Ingredients for Angus Barn S Chocolate Chess Pie

  • Unbaked Pie Shell
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • Semi Sweet Chocolate Baking Squares
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • Vanilla
  • Salt

How to Make Angus Barn S Chocolate Chess Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter in a double boiler or microwave.
  3. Add 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips to the melted butter and stir until completely melted and smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 3 large eggs, ½ cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
  6. Pour the chocolate mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly. A knife inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set properly.
  9. Top with freshly whipped cream before serving and enjoy this taste of Raleigh history!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
