Description
This Chocolate Cherry Cream Pie is a no-bake dream with a buttery crust, tart cherry pie filling, smooth chocolate pudding, and fluffy whipped topping. It’s a crowd-pleasing dessert perfect for holidays, summer parties, or anytime you need a chilled sweet fix.
Ingredients
1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
1 ¾ cups cold whole milk
2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
½ cup mini chocolate chips
8 to 10 maraschino cherries
Instructions
1. Pre-bake your pie crust if necessary and allow it to cool completely.
2. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the crust as the first layer.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes), then let it sit for 5 minutes.
4. Spoon the chocolate pudding over the cherry layer and smooth it out evenly.
5. Spread the whipped topping over the pudding layer.
6. Garnish with maraschino cherries and mini chocolate chips.
7. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving for the cleanest slices.
Notes
Let the pie chill overnight for even firmer layers and easier slicing.
Use whole milk for a thicker, creamier pudding consistency.
Swap in fresh cooked cherry compote if you want to avoid canned filling.
