Quick & Easy Chocolate Chip Cherry Pie
Description
This Quick & Easy Chocolate Chip Cherry Pie is a decadent, two-layer dessert that requires no rolling out of dough. The bottom layer consists of sweet-tart cherry pie filling set into a convenient graham cracker crust, providing a fruity foundation. The top layer is a rich, creamy cheesecake mixture infused with almond and vanilla extracts, offering a smooth, dense texture that contrasts beautifully with the fruit. Generous sprinkles of semi-sweet chocolate chips melt slightly during baking, adding pockets of intense cocoa flavor in every bite. This recipe is perfect for potlucks, summer gatherings, or when you crave a sophisticated dessert without the hassle of traditional pie making. It serves as a wonderful make-ahead option since it improves after chilling.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
Place the graham cracker crumb crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cherry pie filling and cornstarch until fully combined and smooth.
-
Pour the cherry mixture evenly into the crust, spreading it to the edges.
-
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, almond extract, and vanilla extract until creamy and well-blended.
-
Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cherry layer in the pie crust.
-
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top of the cream cheese layer.
-
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is almost set (it may still jiggle slightly).
-
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set firmly before slicing.
