Ingredients
- 1 ready-made chocolate cookie pie crust
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup thawed Cool Whip
- 1 ¼ cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
- 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
How to Make Cherry Chocolate Chip Pie
- Mix the base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Fold in the filling: Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip and cherry pie filling into the cream cheese mixture. This will give the pie its creamy and sweet cherry flavor.
- Add chocolate chips: Stir in 1 cup of the mini chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Assemble the pie: Spread the creamy cherry-chocolate mixture into the chocolate cookie pie crust. Smooth it out with a spatula to create an even layer.
- Top it off: Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of mini chocolate chips over the top of the pie for an extra touch of chocolate goodness.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors meld and the pie set before serving.
Helpful Tips
- Softening cream cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing, as this helps prevent lumps and gives the pie a smooth, creamy texture.
- Chill time: While 4 hours is the minimum chill time, letting it sit overnight will give you an even firmer and tastier result!
- Cutting the pie: Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water to easily slice through the pie without the crust crumbling.
Substitutions & Variations
- Pie crust swap: If you’re not a fan of chocolate cookie crust, try using a graham cracker crust or even a shortbread crust for a different flavor profile.
- Fruit swaps: Don’t have cherry pie filling on hand? No problem! You can easily substitute it with blueberry, raspberry, or even strawberry filling for a different fruity twist.
- Dark chocolate upgrade: For a richer taste, swap out the semisweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips or chunks. It’ll add a deep, indulgent flavor!
