Ingredients
Scale
For the Pie:
- 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling (or homemade)
For the Chocolate Layer:
- 1 box (3.9 oz) chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk (for pudding mix)
For the Whipped Cream Topping:
- 1 ½ cups whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
- ½ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- Fresh cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Ensure the pie crust is pre-baked and fully cooled before assembling. This ensures a crisp, sturdy base for the pie.
- Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the crust. This forms the fruity base of the pie.
- Prepare the chocolate pudding according to the package instructions using cold milk. Let it thicken slightly, then spread it over the cherry layer.
- Gently spread whipped cream over the chocolate layer, creating a smooth, even topping. This adds a light, creamy texture.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the whipped cream, and add fresh cherries for extra flavor and presentation. This enhances the visual appeal and taste of the pie.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set. This ensures the pie is firm and ready to slice.
