Brown Sugar Chess Pie

The Chess Pie, a gooey, buttery, creamy custard pie, is a popular staple on every dessert table in the South.  Finding  a variety of flavors from lemon, chocolate, buttermilk, and coconut is easy, it’s just a matter of choosing which one!  Keeping with tradition, our brown sugar pie calls for butter, eggs, milk, vanilla, and the traditional thickener, cornmeal, to create a rich custard, the perfect foil to the flaky vegan pie crust. Then we crown it with fresh whipped cream and mascarpone and top it with roasted cinnamon spiced hazelnut, drunken raisins ( rum soaked), and crunchy oatmeal crumble.  With a dusting of cinnamon, there is no disputing that this “oatmeal cookie” inspired chess pie will be a crowd-pleaser.  If  “it’s jes’ pie,”  then I’m in pie heaven!
