Ingredients

Scale

Pie Base

  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust

Filling

  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling (or homemade)
  • 1 box (3.9 oz) chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

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 Pie Crust: Ensure the 9-inch pie crust is fully pre-baked and completely cooled before assembling the pie to maintain a crisp texture.
  2. Layer Cherry Filling: Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the cooled pie crust to create a flavorful fruit base.
  3. Make Chocolate Pudding: Prepare the chocolate pudding by combining the pudding mix with 2 cups cold milk according to the package instructions. Allow it to thicken slightly before use.
  4. Assemble Pudding Layer: Spread the thickened chocolate pudding over the cherry filling layer evenly to create a rich chocolate layer.
  5. Add Whipped Cream: Gently spoon and spread the whipped cream over the chocolate pudding layer, smoothing it out to form a creamy topping.
  6. Garnish: Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the whipped cream and add fresh cherries for added flavor and presentation if desired.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set properly for ease of slicing and serving.
  8. Serve: Slice the chilled pie and serve immediately for a refreshing, decadent dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use a pre-baked pie crust to avoid sogginess and save time.
  • For homemade cherry filling, use fresh or frozen cherries cooked with sugar and a thickener like cornstarch.
  • Whipped cream can be homemade using heavy cream and sugar or store-bought for convenience.
  • Chilling is essential for the pudding to set and the flavors to meld together.
  • Optional garnishes like chocolate shavings or mint leaves can also be used for extra flair.
