CHESS PIE
This is a very old Southern recipe. It's a very sweet, rich pie which cannot be described as anything but marvelous. This is not my personal recipe but was passed to me by my grandmother and from her grandmother and so on and so forth.

Steps:
- Mix ingredients and pour into pie shell.
- Bake at 350*F for 40-45 minutes.
- If the pie does not appear to be set after 45 minutes, cook in five minute increments until it is slightly jiggly in the middle (a little like Jello) and allow to cool and it will set up.
Tips:
- Use a pre-made pie crust to save time. If you do want to make your own, check out this recipe for a classic pie crust.
- Do not overmix the filling. Overmixing will make the pie filling tough.
- Bake the pie until the center is just set. Overbaking will make the pie dry.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious finishing touch.
