Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Hand or Stand Mixer
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Refrigerator

Ingredients
  

Base

  • 1 9-inch Chocolate Pie Crust store-bought or homemade

Filling

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese softened, full-fat recommended
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 21 oz Cherry Pie Filling canned
  • 8 oz Cool Whip thawed
  • 1.5 cups Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips divided

Garnish

  • Maraschino Cherries optional

  • Remaining Mini Chocolate Chips for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy using a hand or stand mixer.
  • Gently mix in the cherry pie filling using a spatula. Do not overmix—some texture is fine.
  • Fold in the Cool Whip carefully until the mixture is light and evenly combined.
  • Stir in 1 cup of the mini chocolate chips, saving the remaining 1/2 cup for topping.
  • Spoon the mixture into the prepared chocolate pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate the pie for at least 3–4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly.
  • Before serving, top the pie with extra Cool Whip, sprinkle with the remaining mini chocolate chips, and optionally add maraschino cherries.
