While enjoying the baking of this Southern classic, spare a prayer for those in the Southeastern states. Many are going to spend years in putting their lives back together. Personally, I like my chess pie cold. There is a Nashville hot chicken place down the street that makes a wonderful chocolate chess pie.
I've had Chess Pie and love it. My sweet southern grandmother, MawMaw, used to make a Buttermilk Pie, which is similar to a Chess Pie, just without the cornmeal. It was one of my favorites! Maybe try a Buttermilk Pie sometime!
My family has made this for generations. Up until a couple of decades ago, it was unknown outside of the South, and even now it’s mostly an Appalachian thing. Glad y’all enjoyed it!
Yes Chess pie is from England and was popular during Colonial America especially in Virginia, the south and mid Atlantic like Pennsylvania. I Absolutely love it because It's similar to cheesecake my absolute favorite. It's very addictive. Great job. Elana is a sweetheart. ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻👍🏻
That is what we all did, when we were kids, licking the bowl and the beaters. We did not worry about the raw egg in there. Chess pie is ok, but in that vein, I prefer buttermilk pie. Uses buttermilk instead of whole milk, no corn meal, lemon juice instead of vinegar and I also add a little cinnamon and nutmeg.
I remember my Granny making Chess Pie in the Fall and Ice Box Pie (cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest and whipped cream) in the Spring. If there was any leftover by Monday, my brother and I got a slice as an after school snack. Back then we got home from school at 4:30 (bus route) and dinner was between 5 and 6 so it was like having dessert half an hour before dinner. If I remember correctly in Elementary/Primary School Opened at 7 am Breakfast served from 7-7:25 am Homeroom, first bell 7:30 am (roll call) First class 7:45 am Last bell 3:45 pm By High School, the hours were 8 am-2:45 pm 9-10 hours a day depending on your transportation, 5 days a week - School work After school we snacked or listened to music while starting our homework until dinner then finished homework after dinner, tv time, bath/shower time, bedtime. Wake up the next day and do it all over again. On weekends we had household chores then free time to hang with friends or entertain ourselves. Around the house or home by dinner, always.

I'm going to add this pie to my Thanksgiving menu. I hope you guys are able to join your neighbors across the pond for Thanksgiving this year. My father used to have brisket on the table every year, along with the turkey and all of the sides. The sweets had a table all to themself. I try to keep that memory going every year.
Y'all did a great job! Chess is my absolute favorite pie! It's not surprising you have never heard of it as there's a lot of Americans that have never heard of it,it is well known to southerners,you can get it at our grocery stores pre made and in most church cookbooks.
I had always heard that "chess" was derived from "cheese" -- not in the sense of the dairy product, but in the sense of a specific texture (like "head cheese").
I had forgotten about this pie but after watching the video it brought back early childhood memories of having it and I’m 60 so it’s been at least 50 years since I’ve had it. I’m definitely going to make one soon. I think my Grandmother made it so it’ll remind me of her. Thanks so much
Listen to all those sentences Little H is stringing together, WOW! Pie casings here are called "pie shells". That giggle and "serving size" though... Chess pie is a rare treat for me, but I love it! In my experience, it's a Winter pie after all the fresh fruits are used up.
Chess pie will always have a place in my heart. Looks like ya'll did a great job on it. Would suggest though, that you are missing out if you haven't had any Mississippi mud pie. Recipe at allrecipes is ok, but I recommend sprinkling the top with you favorite chopped nuts and chocolate chips. If you like it, customize your own recipe to your taste, and start a new tradition.
I have to tell you H Fam, you've finally exceeded the culinary limit of my experience as an American born & raised. Chess pie?? I've never even HEARD of this before. That should inform anybody just how enormous America is lol
here in the states we call your pie cases, pie shells. And they make deep dish shells. But whatever there called, you and your family do our cooking proud.
My grandma made us our favorite pies for our birthdays instead of cake. Mine was cherry delight. My middle brother got pecan pie without the pecans. My oldest brother got chess pie. My grandma made a thick crumbly base. I think she made the base like a cake mix with only butter and not all the liquid ingredients. It was delicious. The cherry delight is 1 8oz package of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 8 Oz heavy whipping cream and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1 Graham cracker crust. 1can of cherry pie filling...... Mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar together and set aside. Mix the heavy whipping cream, vanilla and granulated sugar til thick peaks appear. Then combine the cream cheese and whipped cream together. I like to use a mixer for that too, but my grandma just folded them together with a wooden spoon. Once mixed together, add to Graham cracker crust. It will be higher than the crust edge. Add a can of cherry pie filling on the top of the pie. Chill in the fridge overnight. I promise you'll love it! Love your content, and Elana is so smart and beautiful. Love you guys ❤
My family grew up on this pie in South Carolina. Yall really have been doing a good job with country food these past few months. It really warms the heart to see people love the food i grew up with.
Hello H family, baking from scratch never gets old. You have the entire crew in that kitchen means it's gonna be fantabulous! Elana is getting so big, she will be making pies very soon! Love the smiles from everyone, and yes, I'll have big slice of that pie! Bloody Love You Guys from Texas! ❤❤❤
I love Chess Pie, but unfortunately I was the only one in my family to like it, so I haven't made it since that first time, 40 years ago. Yours looks lovely - love that crispy sugar crust on top. Wonder what it would be like with brown sugar? Like a pecanless pie?
Y'all are fabulous! Loved your Chess Pie efforts. It looked beautiful. I can't believe it's time for Pre-school for Elana already! My goodness how times flies. xoxo BLY!
See, I always have the opposite problem with pies like this. My pie pans are too deep and the filling only makes it 2/3 of the way full. Although one of my favorite parts of doing a pie is having a bit of scrap pie dough leftover. I like to make a little turnover filled with butter, brown sugar, and whatever nuts I have on hand. Tasty little bonus treat for the chef.
I make this for my husband because it’s a family recipe for him. It is too sweet for me, but I put fresh raspberries on top and it’s a great foil for all the sweetness. Also, we make a chocolate variation.
My mom would make this pie and it sounded like chess pie but her being from the south that's what it sounded like but after her passing her written recipe it was it's just pie. when she married our dad she moved up to minnesota that was back in 1935 livied the rest of her life here but hung onto her southern accent
I'm looking forward to that future video. Chocolate Chess Pie is one of my absolute favorites, but I haven't had it in a long time and haven't sought out a recipe. Banana Cream Pie is the closest competitor for my tastes.
LEMON CHESS PIE, ALL THE WAY! It was my favorite pie growing up, and still is to this day. I make it every holiday, and all of my Northern friends (I'm a Texan) now make it themselves every holiday, because they had never heard of, much less had one before either. I will gladly share my recipe if you want it!
This looks similar to several very easy and cheap pie recipes that can be made from very commonly found ingredients in every pantry. No fruit to peel, no stove top custard, no meringue to whip, etc. Just mix everything and dump it in the pie shell. Maybe try just egg yolks next time. It might get rid of the sulfur-y taste from the whites, and taste like an extra sweet custard. Probably not necessary if you plan on covering up the eggy flavor with chocolate in your next attempt.
@Mrhandfriends That was a good try. I just watched it. The recipe I had, had me put the crumb mix in the pie shell first and add the wet mixture on top. The crumb mixture then rose to the top during the baking. It was very odd but it worked. Maybe on your next visit to the states you can make it to Pennsylvania and if you do head for Lancaster. That's the Pennsylvania Dutch/Amish area of the state. My family visited there back in the 1970s when I was a youngster.
The southern version is buttermilk pie. Chess pie is more in other areas from what I’ve seen. We usually have a buttermilk pie and a pecan pie at holidays.
I’ve heard of Chess Pie, But never have had it. I always wanted to try to make one. It’s consistency looks similar to a buttermilk pie. I would like to see you guys try one of those. I believe I remember you saying that you cannot get buttermilk in England. Another channel I subscribe to is called Mec Eats America, and he posted a picture of English buttermilk that he bought in his local grocery store. Buttermilk Pie is another “Suthen” recipe.😉 Also, a chocolate pie with meringue on top. My favorite aside from Pecan, is Raisin Pie. Not a huge, Raisin fan, but that pie is amazing. It’s become my favorite pie. I make them every Thanksgiving and Christmas, as it has become a family favorite. Even if you’re not a huge raisin fan, you should at least give this pie a chance. It might change your opinion. It did mine! The chess pie looked beautiful! It turned out perfect and looked so good. Good job Mrs H.
Love chess pie! Fun fact: pecan pie is a chess pie. BTW, You know you can weigh your sugar. 8 oz equals 1 cup. Same with butter and liquid ingredients.

Chocolate chess is sooooo rich and delicious. Its a must have during the holidays for my family.
My mom had three favorite pies. Chess pie, Custard pie and Buttermilk pie. I was tickled to see you do Chess pie. My mom would have loved it!❤
That is what we all did, when we were kids, licking the bowl and the beaters. We did not worry about the raw egg in there.

Chocolate chess is my favorite. I look forward to y’all trying that one too.
Never even heard of it before chess pie.. but I have heard of custard pies in a variety of flavors🎉😂❤
did you notice that Elana used an entire grammatically correct compond sentence? Her verbal skills are expanding exponentially!
My great grandmother made this in winter when there wasn't much to use for desserts.
I love lemon chess pie and almond chess pie. Yum!
I'm going to add this pie to my Thanksgiving menu. I hope you guys are able to join your neighbors across the pond for Thanksgiving this year. My father used to have brisket on the table every year, along with the turkey and all of the sides. The sweets had a table all to themself. I try to keep that memory going every year.
2 is the new 10! Yay! ❤
It's a beautiful thing to see you introducing your Daughter Elana Ito so many different cultures ❤❤ She'll grow up well rounded. Great parenting ❤
Aw Elena is getting more precious and love hearing her talk❤😊!!
Y'all did a great job! Chess is my absolute favorite pie! It's not surprising you have never heard of it as there's a lot of Americans that have never heard of it,it is well known to southerners,you can get it at our grocery stores pre made and in most church cookbooks.

Chess Pie is so delicious! My favorite variation is Lemon Chess Pie 🍋.
Listen to all those sentences Little H is stringing together, WOW! Pie casings here are called "pie shells". That giggle and "serving size" though... Chess pie is a rare treat for me, but I love it! In my experience, it's a Winter pie after all the fresh fruits are used up.
Can't believe that beautiful child is old enough to be talking and cooking. So fast life runs. Love you guys and as always; Great vid!
Chess pie will always have a place in my heart. Looks like ya'll did a great job on it. Would suggest though, that you are missing out if you haven't had any Mississippi mud pie.

That looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! I love ❤ Chess pie! ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻👍🏻
Lemon chess, and Chocolate Chess are really good
Yes! Chocolate chess is my favorite!
I absolutely LOVE chess pie and yours looks delicious. I give it a 2.
Traditional chess pie recipes use dark brown sugar and I think it tastes better. The modern recipes with white sugar lack character.
I like mine with browned butter and brown sugar.
You should invite your family and cook some of your favorite foods that you have made. Let us see their reaction❤️
I have to tell you H Fam, you've finally exceeded the culinary limit of my experience as an American born & raised. Chess pie?? I've never even HEARD of this before. That should inform anybody just how enormous America is lol
I love chess pie. I also make chess bars. For chess bars instead of pie crust, the bottom crust layer is made with a yellow cake mix and butter.
I love Chess pie!
Have loved chess pie since the 70's
Elana wants more!!! Must be a winner :)
Cutest quote of the day, "Look! Her Mommy has a halo!", and how about that, she does!
here in the states we call your pie cases, pie shells. And they make deep dish shells. But whatever there called, you and your family do our cooking proud.
Chess pie is a holiday pie. Popular at Thanksgiving 😊
My grandma made us our favorite pies for our birthdays instead of cake. Mine was cherry delight. My middle brother got pecan pie without the pecans. My oldest brother got chess pie. My grandma made a thick crumbly base. I think she made the base like a cake mix with only butter and not all the liquid ingredients. It was delicious. The cherry delight is 1 8oz package of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 8 Oz heavy whipping cream and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1 Graham cracker crust. 1can of cherry pie filling......
Mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar together and set aside. Mix the heavy whipping cream, vanilla and granulated sugar til thick peaks appear. Then combine the cream cheese and whipped cream together. I like to use a mixer for that too, but my grandma just folded them together with a wooden spoon. Once mixed together, add to Graham cracker crust. It will be higher than the crust edge. Add a can of cherry pie filling on the top of the pie. Chill in the fridge overnight. I promise you'll love it! Love your content, and Elana is so smart and beautiful. Love you guys ❤
Mrs. H always does such thorough research! love that
Great video, and the light ring reflection on the cabinets, makes it look like Mrs. H has a halo.
😇 😂
My family grew up on this pie in South Carolina. Yall really have been doing a good job with country food these past few months. It really warms the heart to see people love the food i grew up with.
I'm 73, live in Oregon., USA. IVE Heard about the Chess pie, but never had any, will have to try
Hello H family, baking from scratch never gets old. You have the entire crew in that kitchen means it's gonna be fantabulous! Elana is getting so big, she will be making pies very soon! Love the smiles from everyone, and yes, I'll have big slice of that pie! Bloody Love You Guys from Texas! ❤❤❤
I love Chess Pie, but unfortunately I was the only one in my family to like it, so I haven't made it since that first time, 40 years ago. Yours looks lovely - love that crispy sugar crust on top. Wonder what it would be like with brown sugar? Like a pecanless pie?
Y'all are fabulous! Loved your Chess Pie efforts. It looked beautiful. I can't believe it's time for Pre-school for Elana already! My goodness how times flies. xoxo BLY!
See, I always have the opposite problem with pies like this. My pie pans are too deep and the filling only makes it 2/3 of the way full.
Although one of my favorite parts of doing a pie is having a bit of scrap pie dough leftover. I like to make a little turnover filled with butter, brown sugar, and whatever nuts I have on hand.
Tasty little bonus treat for the chef.
She sure has grown. what an adorable little one. 😊
it seems like all of a sudden Baby H is talking so well.
So fun I can’t miss your videos
Well Done, You! Looks wonderful and delicious. One of my Favourites. Be Well
Certainly fun watching you guys cook.
If y’all like Chess Pie, you would LOVE a Chocolate Chess Pie! 😋
It’s coming up
You guys are awsome❤
our family recipe is from the early 1800's...we don't put vinegar or cornmeal in it though...for some reason we call it cheese pie
Great video
I make this for my husband because it’s a family recipe for him. It is too sweet for me, but I put fresh raspberries on top and it’s a great foil for all the sweetness.
Also, we make a chocolate variation.
Definitely a southern thing here in the U.S. they sold them in grocery stores when I lived in Tennessee, but nobody here in Michigan has heard of it.
Where I’m at we pronounce it Chezz Pie. Buttermilk pie has to be next❤
I make a lemon chess pie, so good in the summertime!
Princess Elana was a great assistant. Looked good.
Looks great never had it.
I'm in Texas and I've NEVER heard of chess pie before, but it looks delish!
A bit like a buttermilk pie! Yummy!
We always make a buttermilk pie at any of the holidays.
Never heard of this dish! Fun to learn something new along with you.
My mom would make this pie and it sounded like chess pie but her being from the south that's what it sounded like but after her passing her written recipe it was it's just pie. when she married our dad she moved up to minnesota that was back in 1935 livied the rest of her life here but hung onto her southern accent
I'm looking forward to that future video. Chocolate Chess Pie is one of my absolute favorites, but I haven't had it in a long time and haven't sought out a recipe. Banana Cream Pie is the closest competitor for my tastes.
Fort Worth, Tx is in the house! My Mother always made Lemon Chess Pie for Christmas and Thanksgiving.
Instead of the Vinegar, substitute the Juice of one Whole Large Lemon.
Have you tried the chocolate chess pie at Sweet Lucy's? Delightful.
It is definitely a staple on one side of my family in Texas. Literally generations.
LEMON CHESS PIE, ALL THE WAY! It was my favorite pie growing up, and still is to this day. I make it every holiday, and all of my Northern friends (I'm a Texan) now make it themselves every holiday, because they had never heard of, much less had one before either. I will gladly share my recipe if you want it!
I really enjoy chess pie.
This looks similar to several very easy and cheap pie recipes that can be made from very commonly found ingredients in every pantry. No fruit to peel, no stove top custard, no meringue to whip, etc. Just mix everything and dump it in the pie shell.
Maybe try just egg yolks next time. It might get rid of the sulfur-y taste from the whites, and taste like an extra sweet custard. Probably not necessary if you plan on covering up the eggy flavor with chocolate in your next attempt.
Y'all have the best show on UA-cam l love your video's. I feel like I gain a couple of pounds every time I watch I'll cook
Aww thank you! We’ll have to do workout with the H’s as a spin off LOL
My great grandmother made chess pie. I have made it often. Your recipe looks pretty similar. Somewhere I have the great Minnie Pearl’s recipe.
Now I want chess pie. It’s so good.
My favorite is pineapple chess pie. So good!
Alana is so darling! What a smart cutie patootie!! Excellent Job Mrs.H !!
Meringue on top is delicious!!
I love Chess pie! I live up north. Chocolate chip chess pie is good too
Try Lemon Chess Pie.
I'd like to see you try to do a Pennsylvania Dutch Shoo Fly Pie. You'll need to Google or UA-cam a recipe for it. But that would be a fun one to try.
We tried that one. Take a look here:
Brits Try To Make [SHOOFLY PIE] for the first time!

@Mrhandfriends That was a good try. I just watched it. The recipe I had, had me put the crumb mix in the pie shell first and add the wet mixture on top. The crumb mixture then rose to the top during the baking. It was very odd but it worked. Maybe on your next visit to the states you can make it to Pennsylvania and if you do head for Lancaster. That's the Pennsylvania Dutch/Amish area of the state. My family visited there back in the 1970s when I was a youngster.
Oh yes, chocolate chess pie is delicious.
I love Chess pie! Love that it’s not super sweet,and the texture 🥰
Now that you’ve tried chess pie you need to try a southern buttermilk pie and a lemon chess pie.
Mrs H has a halo. Lol
Chocolate chess pie way better...Gotta try!
Dear God, I love this family. ❤
BLY 2
The southern version is buttermilk pie. Chess pie is more in other areas from what I’ve seen. We usually have a buttermilk pie and a pecan pie at holidays.
My Granny said, "It's Chess Pie", meaning: "it's just pie"
I’ve heard of Chess Pie, But never have had it. I always wanted to try to make one. It’s consistency looks similar to a buttermilk pie. I would like to see you guys try one of those. I believe I remember you saying that you cannot get buttermilk in England. Another channel I subscribe to is called Mec Eats America, and he posted a picture of English buttermilk that he bought in his local grocery store. Buttermilk Pie is another “Suthen” recipe.😉 Also, a chocolate pie with meringue on top. My favorite aside from Pecan, is Raisin Pie. Not a huge, Raisin fan, but that pie is amazing. It’s become my favorite pie. I make them every Thanksgiving and Christmas, as it has become a family favorite. Even if you’re not a huge raisin fan, you should at least give this pie a chance. It might change your opinion. It did mine!
The chess pie looked beautiful! It turned out perfect and looked so good. Good job Mrs H.
Yes we can get buttermilk here! I think going back I struggled to get it. We’ve not met many pies we didn’t like yet.
@@Mrhandfriends I know, and that makes me happy😉😂 I BLY’all! I enjoy watching. It always makes me smile!
think the signs are showing. mr and mrs H are about to loose who's in control of the kitchen
Love chess pie! Fun fact: pecan pie is a chess pie. BTW, You know you can weigh your sugar. 8 oz equals 1 cup. Same with butter and liquid ingredients.
