I was a little nervous when making this pie because I never seen or heard of it before, but the ingredients are what peaked my curiousity & of course my Grandmother's confirmation that it's old favorite. Well it was truly delicious. I made 2 for Thanksgiving. Instead of using all Vanilla Extract, I added 1/2 Tblspn. of Vanilla Extract & 1/2 Tblspn. Lemon Extract. Next time I won't preheat the oven too long, there was too much spilling over & I'll use a deep dish pie crust. This is a keeper.

Recipe was super easy to follow and the result was delicious! I used a Keebler shortbread pie crust (the ready made) instead of the unbaked pie crust and it worked just fine, too!

Just like I remember as a kid! I brought this little taste of the south to Denver and it was a winner! Thanks for the memories.

This was delish! I had never had Chess Pie but my husband requested it. It's so easy to make and the custard center was smooth and creamy. Loved it. Thanks!

Can't go wrong with this recipe. Good Stuff. This is the 4th recipe I've used to make chess pie and this one is the best IMHO.

This was great! My first time making it, super easy. I suggest using a deeper pie pan thought to avoid any spillage. I had to cook it a little longer than an hour and I let it cool for a bit to have it set. I will for sure make this again!

Excellent recipe! This is definitely a keeper.I found out it needs an extra 15 to 20 minutes more on bake time for firming the center of pie.Other then that it's the best I've ever tasted. KUDOS!!!

I'd never heard of a Chess Pie but saw it while looking at reviews for Sugar Pie. I made one last night and I am pretty sure the Sugar Pie recipe will go behind this one. Oh my gosh, it was perfect. Hubby has a sweet tooth and this made his day. The only thing I did different was to use milk because i didn't want to open a large can of evap. milk. It didn't seem to hurt it any. Thanks Beth!
