Chocolate-Orange Chess Pie Directions:
Parbake the crust according to its package directions. Set the oven to 350°F.
Melt the butter and chocolate together, stirring until smooth.
Whisk in the sugar, then incorporate the eggs individually.
Mix in the cream, zest, and salt. Sift in the cocoa and flour; combine gently.
Fill the crust. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until puffed with a slightly trembling center.
Cool completely, about 90 minutes, before cutting.
Practical Woman's Secret
Measure the orange zest loosely and avoid the white pith beneath the peel. Fine zest distributes citrus flavor throughout the filling without leaving noticeable strips.
Serving and Storage
Serve small slices on their own so the chocolate and orange remain the focus. Cover and refrigerate leftovers. Keep any optional whipped cream separate until serving to protect the pie’s delicate surface.
