Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling (or homemade)
  • 1 box (3.9 oz) chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk (for pudding mix)
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • fresh cherries for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • refrigerator
  • 9-inch pie dish

Method
 

  1. Ensure the pie crust is pre-baked and completely cooled before assembling.
  2. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the crust.
  3. Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package instructions using cold milk. Let it thicken slightly, then spread over the cherry layer.
  4. Gently spread whipped cream over the pudding, creating a smooth, even topping.
  5. Sprinkle chocolate chips and garnish with fresh cherries for decoration.
  6. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set.
  7. Slice and serve chilled for a creamy chocolate-cherry treat.

Notes

For a deeper flavor, use dark chocolate pudding and top with shaved chocolate. You can also make your own cherry filling with fresh cherries, sugar, and lemon juice. Chill thoroughly before serving for the perfect slice.
