chess pie

English

a slice of a coconut chess pie

Etymology

Uncertain; most likely from cheese pie[1][2][3]; early versions were similar in texture to British lemon curd pies or cheesecakes, and earlier "cheesecakes" often lacked cheese, instead resembling modern chess pies or chess cakes.Other theories include:

from a Southern pronunciation of (it's) jes' pie, as it contrasts with flavored pies like pecan, cherry, chocolate, etc.[2][3]
from chest pie, as the high sugar content means it can be stored in a "pie chest" (pie safe) rather than needing refrigeration.[2][3]
from some association with the game of chess.[3]
from Chester, England.[4]
