If you’re looking for a sweet and decadent dessert, this chocolate cherry pie is it! The rich chocolate crust flavor pairs perfectly with the creamy filling that’s bursting with tart cherries and chocolate chips for an utterly irresistible no-bake treat.

Chocolate Cherry Pie Ingredients

Chocolate Cherry Pie raw ingredients that are labeled

Chocolate cherry pie is a delightful treat that will tantalize the taste buds! The soft chocolate cookie crust pairs perfectly with the sweet and tart mix of the cherries and subtly rich flavors of chocolate.

Every bite offers a mix of crunchy and creamy textures, and spoonfuls filled with an indulgent abundance of fruity flavor.

To make this no-bake pie, you’ll need:

9-inch chocolate pie crust
8 ounces of cream cheese softened to room temperature
1 cup of powdered sugar
21-ounce can of cherry pie filling
1 (8-ounce) tub of Cool Whip (plus more for topping the pie)
1½ cups of semi-sweet mini chocolate chips, divided
Maraschino cherries, for decoration (optional)

PRO TIP:

If you want Cool Whip to top the pie, purchase a 16-ounce tub. You will need 8 ounces for the pie itself and then can use the remaining to pipe swirls on top of the pie for decoration, as shown. You can also slice the pie and serve it with a dollop of whipped topping.

Substitutions And Additions

COOL WHIP: Alternately, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with a few tablespoons of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Use this whipped cream for piping or topping the pie.

How To Make This Chocolate And Cherry Pie Recipe

Making this chocolate cherry pie is surprisingly easy – simply fill the crust with the creamy filling mixture, chill, and you are ready to go!

Using a store-bought crust makes whipping up this pie so quick. Once the filling comes together in the mixing bowl, you will spread it over top of the chocolatey crust and pop it in the fridge for the filling to set.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

Make sure the cream cheese is softened and the Cool Whip is completely thawed so that the ingredients will combine smoothly and you don’t end up with lumps in the pie.

STEP ONE: In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until light and creamy.

STEP TWO: Use a spatula to stir in the cherry filling, and then fold in the Cool Whip.

PRO TIP:

Place your crust in the foil pie pan inside a glass pie plate for added stability when transporting it to and from the fridge.

STEP FIVE: Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours to set the pie. Top with dollops or piped swirls of Cool Whip and the remaining mini chocolate chips. Add maraschino cherries to the decoration or serve alongside.
