This is a good pie, but too sweet. Next time I try it, I'll decrease both the white and brown sugar. It is very similar to pecan pie with out the nuts.

Wonderful! Chess pie has a buttery, caramel sweet filling and this is exactly how it should be. Adding nuts would just not be right! 
My kids devoured this pie in no time but I did manage to get one piece. Used half and half instead of whipping cream cause whipping cream was not available. Thanks to you and your mom for sharing the recipe! Made for PAC Fall 2008.

Very good. Probably the best chess pie I've made. Of course, it's sweet but I think the mix of brown and white makes it just the right sweetness. I cooked the recommended time and then turned off the oven, opened the door and let the pie sit for about 10 minutes in the oven and it helped it to set perfectly. Thanks for the recipe!

I made this pie this morning for tonight's dessert (but just HAD to have one tiny piece to check it out). I certainly can see why this pie sells out right away at the Church bake sale. I think it is the best I have ever had. Quick and easy to prepare too. Thanks so much, Lizzie Abney, for sharing this.
