A Wonderful Chocolate Orange Chess Pie

Chess pie is a popular recipe to make so when I came across this chocolate orange version I was over the moon as it is one of those pies that people love so I though why not make a chocolate orange one so that is why I am sharing this recipe with you so that you can have a go at making one yourself

Chess pie is one of those pies that you can have at a dinner party or just as a dessert at the weekend it is a versatile kind of  dessert pie

This great recipe has been brought to you by macheesmo.com website , thanks for sharing it with us

Here below is a list of the ingredients you will need to make this pie from the website

 

While traditionally chess pie has a lemon base, I decided to change it up a bit and try one with a chocolate and orange flavor.  It kind of turned out like one of those chocolate oranges you can get over the holidays, except in pie form.

In other words, freakin’ good.

It’s a really rich pie and one could easily serve 10-12 people.  It would be a great and unique pie for the holidays!
