Cousin Connie's Chocolate Pie
A few months back, my bride's cousin Connie, from Tennessee, was visiting our area, and one night after dinner she asked if we wanted dessert. Well, who am I to turn down an offer like that? Exactly! The next thing I know, Cousin Connie is serving up her chocolate pie. It was pretty darned good! So, with Kudos to her, here is her chocolate pie recipe adapted with some of the ingredients from The Spice House.
Yield: 1 pie
Preparation Instructions:
Start by sifting the flour and cocoa powder together, then add the sugar, eggs, vanilla and melted butter. You can use a whisk to mix all ingredients, although I've found that it's far easier to use and electric mixer with a whisk attachment.
Next, place your pie dough in a 9-inch glass pie plate or a 9-inch cake pan - you can crimp or not. Add pie mixture in the pie plate and bake at 300°F for 45 minutes.

This was super easy and so, so, so darned good. My 21 year old son loves Chocolate Chess Pie and Ky Derby Pie. He rated this one “every bit as good”. We will make this for decades to come. Tip: heat each slice in the microwave 15 seconds before serving. Amazing.
