Lafayette’s Music Room’s Chocolate Chess Pie Recipe

December 3, 2017 by Jennifer Chandler

Chocolate Chess Pie

Chef Jody Moyt, Lafayette’s Music Room

Jody’s grandmother’s chess pie is so good that he decided to put it on the menu at Lafayette’s! “This twist on the traditional Southern chess pie was a favorite during the holidays at my house growing up,” says Jody of the yummy dessert. He has a few tips when making this pie. “Remember to use high-quality cocoa powder and vanilla. Store-bought pie shells work great, but if you’re up for it, make a homemade pie dough. And for a special holiday presentation, serve with whipped cream and macerated berries.”
