Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Topping
- 1 can (about 21 oz) cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add powdered sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and continue mixing until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Fold in whipped cream and chocolate chips: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain a light texture, then carefully fold in the chocolate chips for bursts of chocolate flavor throughout the filling.
- Spread mixture into crust: Evenly spread the chocolate chip and cream cheese filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Top with cherry pie filling: Spoon the cherry pie filling over the chocolate chip layer, spreading it gently to cover the entire surface of the pie.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly and for flavors to meld, then slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- For added texture, you can toast the chocolate chips lightly before folding them in.
- This pie is best served chilled and can be made up to one day in advance.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free graham cracker crust.
