About Chess pie
Chess pie is a classic dessert rooted in Southern U.S. cuisine, featuring a rich, custard-like filling made with simple pantry staples. Its base ingredients typically include eggs, sugar, butter, and milk or cream, with variations incorporating vanilla, lemon juice, or a touch of vinegar for extra flavor. Often baked in a traditional pie crust, chess pie is known for its golden top and smooth texture. While deliciously indulgent, chess pie is high in sugar, saturated fats, and calories, making it a dessert best enjoyed in moderation. It offers little nutritional value apart from small amounts of protein from the eggs. Originating as a frugal dish meant to use available ingredients, its simplicity and sweetness have made it a staple at Southern gatherings. Though not a health food, chess pie remains a cherished treat for celebrating special occasions.
