I like making desserts. I just don't like to pay for them. The cost of concocting ice creams and bruless is wreaking havoc on my finances. Given that most people only put up with me due to my culinary skills, I'd like to add to my repertoire one of the great Southern classics: the chess pie.

The combination of scotch efficiency and massive cardiac risk embodies everything I loved about Tennessee. However, given that I didn't much care for the other 98%, I don't live there anymore, and nobody in Wisconsin knows how to prepare them. Can anyone suggest a recipe?

Bonus points if it has enough cholesterol to make it a viable method of assassination.

If you want Lemon Chess, you can try Bill Clinton's family recipe: http://allrecipes.co...emon-chess-pie/

I was looking for the custard original, but I'm going to make this simply for the expressions on the recipients' faces.
