Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Take the pre-made chocolate pie crust and place it onto a baking sheet. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until it is slightly crisp. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
-
In a medium saucepan, heat the cherry pie filling over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until it is warmed through. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
-
In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and heavy cream. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir the chocolate and cream mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
-
Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla extract until well combined. Let it cool slightly.
-
Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled chocolate pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
-
Spoon the cherry pie filling on top of the chocolate layer, spreading it out to cover the surface of the pie.
-
Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.
-
Before serving, garnish the pie with chocolate shavings and fresh cherries for an elegant touch.
