Summer is almost here, and we at SNN have a love affair with all things Southern - and that includes recipes. Expect to see more delicious recipes curated from some of the best web sites. Today's recipe is called "Chess Pie".

From All Recipies:

This “very sweet, rich dessert which cannot be described as anything but marvelous” landed with T Knecht after being passed down from several generations of grandmothers in her family tree. When you cook along with Kornbrek and are able to take a bite of the custard pie, “you will think you have died and gone to heaven when you taste this, particularly when served with whipped cream,” T Knecht adds. But don’t just take her word for it. Home cook Jennifer Hayes calls it “fabulous! My brother-in-law calls it ‘sugar cookie pie.’ It takes on an almost crème brulee quality with the caramelized top. Incredible!”
