Description
A delicious and easy-to-make No-Bake Chocolate Cherry Pie that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and cherries, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup cherry juice (from the cherries)
- Chocolate shavings or additional cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the pitted cherries until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the cherry puree and cherry juice, mixing until well combined.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cherry cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Pour the filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pie.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings or additional cherries if desired.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate graham crackers for the crust.
- Substitute the cherries with raspberries or strawberries for a different fruit flavor.
