Thank You for Your Response

Thank you so much for your feedback. While you’re here, I would love to offer you some pie. This is Elma’s recipe from The Calculating Stars. I hope you find it as delicious as I do.

ELMA’S CHOCOLATE CHESS PIE

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal
  • Piecrust – I make a standard crust, but substitute bourbon for the water.

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Prep pie crust and keep cool.
  • Combine butter, sugar and cocoa.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla.
  • Whisk until blended and thickish. Stir in cornmeal until just combined; pour into crust.
  • Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until pie is set and top begins to resemble the surface of the moon. Dark and crusty with cracks running across its surface.
  • Cool and serve at room temperature. If you are Jewish like Elma, and it’s a dairy night, adding whipped cream is a lovely touch.

Enjoy!

While you’re here, I’d love your help. My talking cat seems to have decided to take up a life of crime. Give the video below a watch and let me know what you think happened.
