My mother's holiday obsession has always been chocolate-covered cherries. This year, I decided to bring that to the Thanksgiving table in the form of a pie. This sweet-tart combination is perfect for a holiday all about mixing sweet and savory spreads.

Steps

45 mins

1

Dice butter into tiny pieces and set aside in the fridge.
2

In a bowl, combine cocoa powder, flour, salt, and sugar.
3

Once dry ingredients are whisked together, add in the chilled butter and mix.
4

Add water one tablespoon at a time, kneading between each tablespoon. Once a dough forms, stop adding water. Roll dough with hands to better determine consistency.
5

Place dough into a deep-dish pie plate. Push the dough down in the center and press it against the sides of the pie plate. Make sure the dough in the center isn't too thick.
6

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Add the cherry filling to the pie crust and bake for 10 minutes.
7

Lower heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 25-35 minutes.
8

Prepare chocolate pudding as instructed on the packaging.
9

Once pie is baked and slightly cooled, add chocolate pudding on top of the cherry filling.
10

To make the whipped cream, add all ingredients into a bowl and whisk until peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
11

Top the chocolate pudding layer with the whipped cream layer.
12

Enjoy your Chocolate-Covered Cherry Pie! 🍫🍒

💡Tip: Pie is best after setting in the fridge for at least one hour.
