Can I use a homemade pie crust instead of refrigerated dough?

Yes. The recipe says you can use refrigerated pie dough, your favorite pie dough recipe, or a frozen pie shell, so a homemade crust works well.

Do I need a mixer for this pie?

No. A whisk will work, but the recipe notes that an electric mixer with a whisk attachment makes mixing easier and faster.

How do I know when the pie is done?

Bake it until the filling is set after about 45 minutes at 300°F. The center should no longer look loose or sloshy; it may still have a slight jiggle but should firm up as it cools.

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Yes. Like most baked pies, it can be made a day in advance and chilled once fully cooled. For the best texture, let it cool completely before slicing.

How should I store leftovers?

Cover the pie and refrigerate any leftovers. For best quality, eat within 3 to 4 days.

Can I use a different cocoa powder or vanilla extract?

Yes. Any unsweetened cocoa powder and standard vanilla extract should work, though the recipe is specifically adapted with The Spice House cocoa powder and vanilla for added flavor.

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!

Vanilla Extract, Madagascar Double Strength

$48.99

Ingredients

1/4 cup Natural Cocoa Powder
1 teaspoon Madagascar Vanilla Extract Double Strength
1/4 cup self-rising flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 pie crust refrigerated pie dough (or if you prefer, your favorite pie dough recipe or frozen pie shell)

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.
