Description

This luscious Chocolate Cherry Cream Pie combines a crisp pre-baked pie crust layered with sweet cherry pie filling, smooth chocolate pudding, and fluffy whipped cream. Topped with semi-sweet chocolate chips and optional fresh cherries, this no-bake dessert is perfect for any occasion, offering a delightful balance of fruity and creamy flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

Crust & Filling

  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling (or homemade)

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 1 box (3.9 oz) chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk (for pudding mix)

Topping

  • 1 ½ cups whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • Fresh cherries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Crust: Ensure the pre-baked 9-inch pie crust is fully cooled before assembly to maintain its crisp texture and prevent sogginess.
  2. Layer Cherry Filling: Evenly spread the entire can of cherry pie filling across the bottom of the pie crust, creating a fruity base layer.
  3. Make Chocolate Pudding: In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk thoroughly according to the package instructions until the pudding thickens slightly.
  4. Spread Pudding Layer: Carefully spread the thickened chocolate pudding over the cherry layer, ensuring an even, smooth surface.
  5. Add Whipped Cream: Gently spread 1 ½ cups of whipped cream over the chocolate pudding layer, smoothing it out for a fluffy, creamy topping.
  6. Garnish: Sprinkle ½ cup of semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips over the whipped cream. Optionally, add fresh cherries on top for enhanced flavor and an attractive presentation.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 2 hours to allow all layers to set properly and flavors to meld.
  8. Serve: Slice and serve the pie chilled, enjoying the delicious combination of cherry, chocolate, and cream.

Notes

  • Make sure the pie crust is fully cooled to prevent melting the pudding and whipped cream layers.
  • You can make homemade cherry pie filling if preferred for a fresher taste.
  • For a richer pudding layer, use whole milk instead of low-fat milk.
  • Whipped cream can be homemade using heavy cream or store-bought for convenience.
  • Fresh cherries not only add flavor but also enhance the pie’s presentation.
  • This pie should be stored in the refrigerator and is best consumed within 2 days.
