Agave Chess Pie Recipe

Growing up in the south we love our tea and our sweets. One of those sweet staples was Chess Pie.  To tell you that I love Chess Pie would only be scratching the surface, if I could just choose one dessert to have for the rest of my life, it would be Chess Pie.  From the moment of the first smells start to permeate the air, I start to get all excited and giddy.

When I was a little girl at church I would scope out the dessert table when we would have potlucks and spy what delectable delights were available. It takes just a few ingredients but this simple pie is pie gold in your mouth.

When I saw this Agave Chess Pie recipe variation, I thought hmm why not. Let me tell you this sweet treat does not disappoint. I would probably decrease the sugar to ½ cup the next time, but then I don’t eat much sugary stuff these dates, so I thought the recipe to be really sweet. But if you like your sweets then leave the sugar amount alone! The sugar crust that forms on top is my favorite part, I love cutting into the pie through that crust and getting to the golden middle. Then when I stick for k into the pie it’s the perfect combination of crunchy and soft deliciousness!
