Black Forest Pie – Taste of Home
¾ cup sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup milk
¼ cup butter or margarine
2 eggs, lightly beaten
21oz cherry pie filling
1 unbaked pastry shell (9 in)
In a saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa, flour and milk until smooth. Add butter. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into eggs. Return all to pan. Fold in half of the pie filling. Pour into pastry shell. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until filling is almost set. Cool completely on a wire rack. Just before serving, top with remaining pie filling and whipped topping if desired.
Note : This was quite nice....smooth and creamy. I'm not a big fan of mixing chocolate and fruit, but this is worth trying. Make sure it's cooled down before you eat it...
mmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when i cheat im trying this one!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth it, Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteI loved this pie. Half of the can of pie fill is folded into the chocolate and the other half is put on top just before serving! The blobs of cool whip around the edge were Allan's idea. I was making a mess of it and he suggested it just in time to make it look better. Thanks, Honey!
I really liked this pie, but you have to like chocolate and fruit together. Allan and Josiah don't. Samuel and I made pigs of ourselves and had a second piece. Hannah took the last extra piece to school.
This pie has a creamy chocolate base with cherry flavor and chunks of cherries in it. It really does taste like black forest dessert - without the cake part. Yum! I'm not a huge fan of cakes. I like pie much better, and cookies even better than that! This will go into my recipe book to repeat some other time. I'll probably make it for company, as two of the five of us don't care for it. It's one of the few that Samuel actually liked, and ate! Hooray!
A note for the future: When you cut the pie into eight, having two pieces after dinner was an overload. I don't suggest doing that again. My stomach protested for a couple of hours after. I guess my tastebuds are realizing the end of this experiment is drawing to a close and they are in overdrive to get as much as possible before it's all over! :)
