Slice of chocolate pie

No matter where you are in the world, there’s nothing quite like a good slice of pie and a new list reveals a famous North Carolina restaurant has the best pie in the entire state.

Two types of cakes that I have been obsessed with recently are key lime pie and lemon meringue pie. But if you ask me what my all-time favorite type of pie is, I’m going to have to go with a classic slice of chocolate chess pie.

LoveFood took it upon themselves to find the best pies in the country. They made a list of the top slice in each state based on reviews, awards and maybe a few taste tests in between.

So where can you find the best pie in North Carolina? Right in my hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina! If you’ve ever lived in Raleigh or spent time there, chances are you’ve heard of this restaurant. The Angus Barn! The Angus Barn is one of those restaurants where it’s just a staple. A nice dinner, a wedding, a corporate dinner…you can’t go wrong having it at the Angus Barn.

LoveFood had this to say about the chocolate chess pie at The Angus Barn in Raleigh.

“The incredibly silky-smooth filling, made with semi-sweet chocolate, is encased in a deliciously buttery crust. The restaurant is also more than happy to share the recipe with anyone who’s looking to recreate it at home.”

But don’t you worry…we went a step farther and if you can’t make it to The Angus Barn to get that recipe, we will bring it to you!

Check out the recipe here. Be sure to have everything you need and give it a taste!

3 Most Popular South Carolinian Desserts You Should Know

If you’re anything like me then you’re a sweet kind of person. I love desserts, sugary treats, and all of that all the time. My sweet tooth is beyond strong and is always calling my name. Whenever I am craving something sweet, it’s pretty hard to determine what I want. From cookies to ice cream to baked goods, they are all so good. But, being from South Carolina there are some treats that are just a staple for us to know.

Taste Atlas is giving us the three most popular South Carolinian desserts you should know. These are three, but I know there are a few more to add to this list. My aunt has taught me many things and baking some of our favorite recipes that have been passed down is one of the best things. If you do not know any of these treats, then you are missing out. Check out some popular desserts famous in South Carolina that you 100% need to know.

  • Huguenot Torte

    A favorite from Charleston is the Huguenot Torte treat. This is a baked apple and pecan or walnut pudding cake with crispy meringue topping and served with whipped cream. Taste Atlas says this is a pretty recent recipe for the Charleston base.  The recipe first showed up in the 1950s in a cookbook and began to blow up shortly after.

  • Benne Wafers

    Now this is a great one for sure! Benne Wafers is a traditional American cookie coming straight out of Charleston. Made up of a great combo of butter, sugar, flour, eggs, baking powder, and benne. Benne is the Bantu word for sesame seeds. They are a cookie dated back years and years and are now a treat that tourists can enjoy when visiting.

  • Lady Baltimore Cake

    Now, this may be a new one for me. The Lady Baltimore Cake is Taste Atlas No. 1 South Carolina dessert. I have personally never heard of or had this which is kind of crazy being from Charleston. This famous cake was created by two women who ran Charleston’s Lady Baltimore Tea Room. The cake is several layers of white sponge cake and a rich marshmallow-like frosting mixed with chopped nuts and dried fruits.
