Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Topping and Garnish

  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
  • Extra mini chocolate chips for garnish
  • Whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until evenly mixed and crumbly.
  2. Form the Crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to create an even crust layer.
  3. Chill the Crust: Place the pie pan in the refrigerator and chill the crust for 15 to 20 minutes to set it firmly while you prepare the filling.
  4. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  5. Add Sweeteners and Flavor: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  6. Incorporate Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy, maintaining the airiness.
  7. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the filling mixture.
  8. Assemble the Pie: Spoon half of the cream cheese filling into the chilled crust and spread it evenly.
  9. Layer Cherry Filling: Spoon a layer of cherry pie filling over the first cream cheese layer, reserving a few whole cherries if desired for garnish.
  10. Top with Remaining Filling: Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture smoothly over the cherry layer.
  11. Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 3 to 4 hours to allow it to fully set and enhance the flavors.
  12. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top and add a dollop of whipped cream along with a few reserved cherries for decoration.
  13. Slice and Enjoy: Slice the pie and serve this creamy, cherry-chocolate delight to your guests or family.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks for the fluffiest filling texture.
  • You can substitute the cherry pie filling with fresh cherries cooked down with sugar if preferred.
  • This pie keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers.
