Looks like it probably comes from an alternate spelling of the word "cheese."
Interesting link. Here's a quote:
"Since the archaic spellings of cheese often had but one "e" we have the answer to the riddle of the name of that southern favorite "Chess Pie," recipes for which vary no more from that for "Transparent Pudding" than those do among themselves; "Chess Cake: is also akin, if less directly. (The tradition of making cheesecake without the cheese goes back to early seventeenth century and beyond...)"
