Chocolate Chess Pie«««««

 

From Norella Beane  who received it from her son Steven in Holly Springs, NC
 

This recipe sounds too good to be true..........and virtually no work!

1 baked 9"pie shell
(You can make you own or buy a frozen one.)

1 ½ cups sugar

3 tablespoons cocoa

2 eggs

1 stick butter (melted)

1 teaspoon vanilla

5 oz evaporated milk (small can)

 I combine the sugar and cocoa first and mix until consistent.  Add the remaining ingredients and pour into a pie shell. 

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes (1 pie) or 50 minutes (2 pies at the same time).  Be sure to cool it overnight in the refrigerator.

 Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

French Silk Pie «««««

1 baked pie shell (9")

(You can make you own or buy a frozen one)

1 cup soft butter
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 eggs

Cream butter and sugar, blend in melted chocolate and vanilla. Add eggs one
at a time, beating 5 minutes between each egg. Pour into prepared pie
shell. Refrigerate overnight. Top with whipped cream (I buy the heavy
whipping cream and whip it myself), garnish with chocolate (sweet) shavings

Key is to make sure you beat the eggs for 5 minutes each to make it silky.

Filling:

1-13 oz can Evaporated Milk, chilled icy cold 

1/4 cup lime juice or concentrate

1 C sugar

In large bowl, dissolve Jell-O in water. Chill until partly set. Whip until fluffy. Stir in juices and sugar.

In another large bowl, whip milk until stiff. Fold into Jell-O mixture.

 (I add a few drops green food coloring to tint it to appear like lime) Pour into pan lined with chocolate mixture.

Sprinkle with grated semi-sweet chocolate.

P.S.  In an emergency, I substituted vanilla wafers and used strawberry Jell-O, omitting the lime juice and lemon juice and adding fresh strawberries. I topped it with strawberry slices and a sprig of mint. It turned out really good, too!

1/2 tsp salt

Cake

For topping: In a large bowl combine the topping ingredients and
