Prize-winning Chocolate Chess Pie!
Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2011
Hi everyone,
Here is just something we are going nuts about. A chess chocolate pie! Slurp! In fact the pie won a prize at a contest.
The pie I made was a Chocolate Chess Pie & to my surprise came in third in the Tim Burton category! And I have to give credit to my husband for helping me with the stencil for the pie I brought to the contest. Couldn’t have made it look so good without him! I moved to LA from Ohio 9 years ago and work for a property management company. During the winter my husband and I enjoy snowboarding. My baking, which I don’t do enough, started with my 4-H projects every summer for the county fair. Every summer was a different cooking project and also a bake-off. I decided to make the Chocolate Chess Pie simply because it is my favorite (and it’s so simple!) and hadn’t made it in awhile. This gave me a good reason to dust off the recipe and make a couple.
Keep reading for the complete recipe…
