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 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.
STEP THREE: Fold in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
STEP FOUR: Spread the filling into the chocolate pie crust.
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.
How To Serve This Cherry Chocolate Cream Pie
Serve this delightful no-bake dessert with a scoop of ice cream for a delicious treat. This pie comes together in minutes and would make a quick and easy choice after dinner during the week.
Accompanied by a hot cup of rich coffee or a creamy homemade hot chocolate, a scrumptious slice of chocolate cherry pie is guaranteed to be a hit.

Storing This Cherry Chocolate Pie
IN THE FRIDGE: This dreamy pie can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. If the pre-made pie crust comes with a plastic insert, flip it over and use it to cover your leftover pie.
IN THE FREEZER: Store this delicious pie in the freezer for up to 1 month. Let thaw in the fridge overnight before you plan to serve the pie.

Delicious recipe!
I always follow the recipe the first time, then make adjustments and changes afterwards.
My next time, I will try a graham cracker crust, but add a chocolate drizzle.
