Black Forest Pie

Ooh, I remember this being really good! Chocolate and cherries are the best combination. This was "the" pie for my family one year in the early 80's. No event was without one of these pies. Then we sort of lost track of the recipe, and when I recently unearthed it I just had to post it. The times listed don't include cooling and chilling.

- 1/3 cup milk

Fold half the can of pie filling into the mixture in the pan.7
Pour into the crust.8
Bake 35-45 minutes or until center is set but still shiny.9
Cool and then chill at least one hour.10

At last minute, I decided I was bored of cherry pie, and looked for another recipe that used the cherry pie filling I had on hand. Anyways, the bottom layer of chocolate and cherries was pretty good, (That would have been rated a 4.) but no one liked the rest of the cherry pie filling between the 2 layers of whipped cream. However, truthfully, we probably would have preferred a run of the mill cherry pie.

Pick your Chef entry also as I love chocolate and cherries together and Black Forest anything is an all time favorite! Another winner ReeLani and this goes together quickly and makes a great tasting simple pie. PS try it with a chocolate crust, think you died and went to heaven then!! TY

I made this for Mother's Day and it was a hit. Instead of using cool whip I made my whipped cream by whipping about 1 cup of heavy cream and adding the shaved chocolate. The topped the pie with remaining cherries around the edge of the pie and then filled in the center with the remaining cherry juice. This recipe is easy and doesn't take a lot of time, I will definitely make this again.

This was sooooo good... I didn't add the last layer of Cool Whip because I liked the look of the cherries on top. Oh, and I forgot to mix the grated chocolate in, so I just put it on top.
