It was quite a straight forward recipe. I made a graham cracker crust (but I think Paula uses a store bought one), made the very simple custard filling (which doesn't involve cooking, since it gets baked), and baked it. Then after it was cool (well luke warm, I was impatient) I topped it with berries and a glaze made from melted apricot jam (Paula adds liquor to it, but all I have is Frangelico, which wouldn't have worked well, so I left it out). It's supposed to be fully cooled before you eat it but I didn't want to wait (nor did my mom or pops). It was great! I can't wait to taste it cold. When I do (probably tomorrow night for dessert, if I can wait that long) I'll let you know how it is. I'll post a photo then, by the way.
Hi, I'm Chef Mercedes. I'm a graduate of the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center's classic pastry arts program. Currently I do not work in the food industry so I use this blog to share my love of eating and passion for baking with the world. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to share about baking and that I’ll inspire you to bake as well.

Two Berry Chess Pie
When I saw Paula Deen, she was signing cookbooks. So I bought a cookbook for her to sign. This recipe is from it. I've only ever made one of Paula's recipes (her Dummy Fudge) and it came out well, but, as much as I love Paula, I was a little hesitant. I shouldn't have been. It was simple to make and absolutely amazing!!!!
