This buttermilk chess pie\u00a0is declared “the easiest pie to prepare in this chapter” in the America’s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. \u00a0And it truly is simple. \u00a0It’s also quite delicious, creamy, smooth, rich and downright heavenly.<\/p>\n

After making this strawberry rhubarb pie<\/a> and finishing off the last of it recently I was seriously craving more pie. \u00a0I’ve typically reserved pie for the holiday baking season, making cobblers more often in the summer. \u00a0But that’s just silly. \u00a0Pie can easily be a year round food and should be embraced as much now, when the weather is warm, as when it’s chilly out. \u00a0While some pies are better for cool weather and some for warmer days, this one can be enjoyed any time of year. \u00a0Pairing it with some fresh seasonal berries during the coming months will make it a great summer dessert.<\/p>\n

You can serve this custard pie warm, room temperature, or chilled. \u00a0The flavors shine through best when it’s warm or room temp, though.<\/p>\n

The crust in this pie, as with most if not all pie, is important and can really make the dessert special. \u00a0If you use a store bought crust the dessert will be fine, but if you have the time to make your own it will be extra delicious. \u00a0I’ve used this all butter pie crust recipe <\/a>from Smitten Kitchen the last couple of times I’ve made pie and I really like it. \u00a0The recipe makes enough for 2 crusts, so just stash one away for another time.<\/p>\n

The ingredient list is simple and straightforward, you probably have everything in your kitchen right this very moment. \u00a0Once you make the crust all you have to do is whisk everything else together, pour it into the pie crust and bake. \u00a0So, what are you waiting for?!<\/p>\n
