A sweet, custardy Chocolate Buttermilk Pie with an incredibly rich chocolate flavor, paired with a crunchy Oreo crust. A pie worthy of a special event, but easy enough for a Tuesday night.
Today, we’re digging into the archives and giving an old post a new refresh.
After 6 years, it’s time for some new photos – and some new, helpful tips! I’ve made this pie a lot over the past 6 years and have done some testing to answer come frequent questions I’ve received.
This pie has made an appearance at birthdays, at potlucks, and has now become a Thanksgiving staple for our family.
And of course, it’s perfect for Pi Day coming up – hint, hint!
I first learned about buttermilk pie from a friend who was telling me about chess pie — a pie made with cornmeal. While I was trying to wrap my head around how this would possibly taste, she said “It’s like a buttermilk pie, but with cornmeal.”
Buttermilk pie? I had no idea what such a thing was.
And so, I did what any good Baking Chemist does, and went to work in the kitchen, trying my hand at different versions!
In all honesty, chocolate buttermilk pie did not taste at all all what I thought it would taste like – but it was absolutely delicious! (And why it’s become a Thanksgiving staple for us).
So for those of you who also have no idea what a buttermilk pie is or tastes like, let’s get into some details (although I do love the “make something and hope it’s good!” element of surprise).
