Day 24 - Black Forest Pie



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...
