I've made this pie numerous times and it always gets top marks. Take care not to overbake it because the filling will lose it's creamy texture and become somewhat hard. The addition of lemon juice and zest give the pie some zing and helps to tone down the sweetness of a regular chess pie. You can't go wrong with this recipe!

The lemony filling was delicious but was I supposed to divide the dough in half before rolling it out for the bottom? My bottom crust did not seem baked enough – perhaps it was too thick? I will definitely try it again. My husband loved it anyway!

Have not made a chess pie in forever! Yours looks terrific. Anything Edna is tops in my book. Boy, I miss the south!

I've never heard of chess pie but this looks delish. It looks like the type of pie my grandmother would make. Saving this recipe!

I've never heard of Chess Pie before, but it looks so delicious! I just stumbled upon your blog and read your story. I often find myself wondering if what I do matters and day dreaming about recipes I will make when I get home :) I love the significance of your blog name as well – very creative and symbolic.
