    The Bishop's Amish Chocolate Pie

    Published: Apr 4, 2014 · Updated: Nov 28, 2014 by Kevin Williams | 8 Comments

     Amish Chocolate Pie

    The Bishop's Amish Chocolate Pie: Oklahoma is not known for its huge population of Amish, but there is a community near Enola and Chouteau that has been around for quite some time. I have not been to the settlement (I'd like to go sometime), but I know people who either live there now or have lived there at some point.

    It's a bit more progressive of a settlement. For instance, they allow farming with gasoline-powered tractors. Another unusual wrinkle is that the Amish community is actually celebrated and showcased with an annual festival.  You do find some events in other Amish settlements that have an "Amish angle."  Yoder Days in Yoder, Kansas or Swiss Days in Berne, Indiana come to mind.  But Chouteau goes a step farther with its annual "Black Buggy Day."   The event - held at Guy Williams Park in Chouteau - is held this year on Sept. 14 and describes itself this way:

    Celebrate the Amish culture of the area surrounding Chouteau with a visit to this year's Black Buggy Day.  This annual Chouteau event honors Amish heritage with food, arts and crafts, bluegrass music and children's games. Known for their cooking skills, the Amish will be on-hand serving authentic Amish food and homemade goodies including hot chicken and noodles, freshly baked breads and pies, cinnamon rolls, smoked ribs and kettle corn. In addition, enjoy standard fair food such as funnel cakes, corn dogs, turkey legs, hamburgers and barbecue sandwiches from a variety of on-site food vendors. Ice-cold watermelon, ice cream and lemonade will also be available.

    I'm not sure about the bluegrass music, but the rest sounds fascinating.  Opportunities for the public to enjoy authentic Amish cooking are rare so this event sounds like a winner.

    The Bishop's Amish Chocolate Pie is a favorite around the holidays.

      That pie looks fantastic! Wow, the pie crust looks so good too. Would Rachel like to tell us her secret to such a good looking pie crust? As soon as Lent is over, I'd like to make this Bishop's Chocolate Pie. Thanks Kevin and Rachel!

      I was just going back through some emails and found your newsletter featuring the Amish community that is about 15 miles from my hometown! I do have one correction to your article: Enola is actually spelled Inola. Also I'm not sure about the technicality but several of the people are Mennonites. My husband worked with a Mennonite young man and we were invited to his home. He lives like we do with electricity in his home. It was a surprise to me. We have also enjoyed an Amish meal. I know al least two families that will schedule meals for large groups. Chicken and noodles, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, and of course, rolls. Then pies for dessert. It is wonderful to live so close and be able to celebrate their heritage.

      This pie is wonderful. The only change I make it to top it with real whipped cream.

        Yep, you can't beat real whipped cream (well, that was kind of a funny, you have to beat it to make it, but then you can't beat it once you make it!:)

      Correction under the Bishop's Chocolate Pie: that's Inola, OK, not Enola. My mother was born there and has relatives buried there. We were raised Mennonite Brethren in Enid, OK.

        Robin already mentioned this (above). Sorry!
