Black Forest Pie

Ingredients flour salt unsalted butter sugar baking cocoa flour milk egg cherry pie filling whipped cream unsweetened baker’s chocolate

Combine the crust ingredients in a bowl. Use a fork and then your hands to form the mixture into a ball.

Roll the dough out until it's at least 2-3 inches more in diameter than your pie plate. Carefully place the dough into a 6 inch pie plate.

In a saucepan combine sugar, cocoa, and flour. Stir in the milk until smooth.

Add butter. Continue to whisk and cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly. Continue whisking and reduce heat and cook for 2 more minutes.

Stir about 1/4 cup of the hot mixture into the beaten egg.

Add back to chocolate mixture. Whisk until combined. Stir in the 1/4 cup of the canned cherry pie filling.

Pour the filling mixture into the pie shell and bake. Cool completely.

Spread 1/2 cup of the canned cherry pie filling over chocolate pie.

Grate unsweetened chocolate into shavings. Reserve a small amount aside and add the rest into a bowl with whipped cream. Whisk to combine.

Spread the whipped cream mixture in a layer over the cherries. Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate shavings over the top of the pie. Add one more cherry on top, if desired.
