Description

This No-Bake Easy Cherry Chocolate Chip Pie is a luscious and creamy dessert that combines a buttery graham cracker crust with a smooth cream cheese filling studded with mini chocolate chips and topped generously with sweet cherry pie filling. Perfect for gatherings or a simple indulgence, this pie requires no oven time and comes together quickly with a chilling period to set.

Ingredients

Scale

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 & Garnish

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are fully moistened and resemble wet sand.
  2. Form the Crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to create a compact crust layer.
  3. Chill the Crust: Place the crust in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up while preparing the filling.
  4. Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy to avoid lumps.
  5. Add Sweetness and Flavor: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the mixture is uniform.
  6. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture, using a spatula to keep the texture light and fluffy.
  7. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the filling to add bursts of chocolate in each bite.
  8. Assemble First Layer: Spoon half of the cream cheese filling into the chilled crust and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  9. Add Cherry Pie Filling: Spoon a layer of cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, reserving a few cherries to garnish the top.
  10. Top with Remaining Filling: Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the cherry layer smoothly.
  11. Refrigerate to Set: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 3 to 4 hours, allowing it to fully set and flavors to meld.
  12. Garnish Before Serving: Sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top of the chilled pie for decoration.
  13. Add Final Touches: Add a dollop of whipped cream and a few reserved cherries on top to create an inviting presentation.
  14. Slice and Serve: Cut the pie into 8 generous slices and enjoy this creamy cherry and chocolate chip delight.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • You can substitute mini chocolate chips with regular chocolate chips if preferred, but mini chips blend better into the filling.
  • This pie should be kept refrigerated and is best enjoyed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • If you prefer a firmer crust, consider adding a tablespoon of melted butter more.
  • Whipped cream for serving is optional but adds a nice lightness on top.
  • No baking is required, making this an easy dessert for warm weather or last-minute gatherings.
