Nothing says I love you quite like pie, and no pie screams southern comfort to me quite like a chess pie. Whether it be buttermilk, lemon, or chocolate, a slice of chess pie always feels like home.
This chocolate chess pie is a spin on my signature maple espresso chocolate chess. It has consistently been one of my best sellers ever since I started baking and during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season it’s the first one to sell out.
If you like thick fudgey brownies than this is the pie for you. The herbal notes of the green cardamom play so well with the bite of the dark cocoa as well as the slightly fruity undertones being uplifted by the bright citrus in the orange. It’s a flavor combination that I’ve really grown to love and enjoy the more I explore it. The toasted flavor from the all-butter crust and the creaminess of the whipped cream rounds everything out to give you the perfect bite.
