Description

This no-bake easy cherry chocolate chip pie is a delightful combination of creamy cheesecake filling, sweet cherry pie topping, and crunchy graham cracker crust. Perfect for warm days or when you want a quick dessert without turning on the oven. The luscious blend of cream cheese, whipped cream, and mini chocolate chips layered with cherry pie filling creates a rich yet refreshing treat everyone will love.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Topping and Garnish

  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
  • Extra mini chocolate chips for garnish
  • Whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until the mixture is evenly moistened and holds together when pressed.
  2. Form the Crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to create an even crust layer.
  3. Chill the Crust: Refrigerate the crust for 15-20 minutes to set while you prepare the filling.
  4. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  5. Add Sweeteners and Flavor: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  6. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture until the filling is light and fluffy, maintaining the airy texture.
  7. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the filling to distribute chocolate flavor in every bite.
  8. Assemble the First Layer: Spoon half of the cream cheese filling into the chilled crust and spread it evenly to cover the base.
  9. Add Cherry Layer: Spread a layer of cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, reserving a few cherries for garnish if desired.
  10. Top with Remaining Filling: Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the cherry layer smoothly and evenly.
  11. Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 3 to 4 hours to allow it to fully set and develop flavor.
  12. Garnish Before Serving: Sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top of the pie for added texture and decoration.
  13. Add Whipped Cream and Cherries: Optionally add a dollop of whipped cream and a few reserved cherries for a beautiful presentation.
  14. Slice and Serve: Cut the pie into 8 slices and enjoy this creamy, cherry-chocolate dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks to get a light and stable filling texture.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent it from crumbling when serving.
  • This pie must be refrigerated for several hours to set properly as it is no-bake.
  • Use mini chocolate chips for a better distribution and texture in the filling.
  • Cherry pie filling can be substituted with fresh cherry compote for a fresher taste.
  • Optional whipped cream topping adds extra elegance and creaminess.
