Description

This No-Bake Easy Cherry Chocolate Chip Pie is a deliciously creamy dessert combining a buttery graham cracker crust with a smooth chocolate chip cream cheese filling and a sweet cherry topping. Perfect for warm days or when you want a quick and impressive dessert without turning on the oven, it’s an ideal treat for cherry and chocolate lovers alike.

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)
  • Reserved cherries from cherry pie filling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until the mixture is evenly moistened and crumbly.
  2. Shape 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: Place the prepared crust in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up while you prepare the filling.
  4. Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy without lumps.
  5. Add Sweeteners and Flavoring: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.
  6. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture until the filling is light, airy, and fluffy.
  7. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the creamy filling.
  8. First Layer of Filling: Spoon half of the cream cheese and chocolate chip mixture into the chilled crust, spreading it evenly to cover the crust base.
  9. Add Cherry Layer: Spread a layer of cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, saving a few cherries for garnish if you’d like.
  10. Top with Remaining Filling: Add the remaining cream cheese mixture on top of the cherries and spread it out smoothly.
  11. Refrigerate the Pie: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or until the filling is fully set and firm.
  12. Garnish: Just before serving, sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top, add a dollop of whipped cream, and decorate with the reserved cherries for an attractive presentation.
  13. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the pie into 8 pieces and enjoy this creamy, cherry-chocolate delight!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks for the best texture in the filling.
  • You can substitute mini chocolate chips with regular chocolate chips chopped finely if desired.
  • To speed up setting time, you can chill the pie in the freezer for about 1-2 hours instead of the fridge.
  • This pie is best served within 2 days but can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • For a crunchy topping, add some toasted nuts on top with the chocolate chips and cherries.
