Steps:
- For the pie: The day before making the pie, put the cherries and bourbon in an airtight container and let set overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line an 8-inch pie dish with the pie crust. Trim the excess off, crimp the edges and poke the bottom and sides with a fork. Place a piece of parchment or wax paper on the crust in the pie dish and fill three-quarters full with dried beans.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the beans and paper, return to the oven and finish baking until medium brown, another 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, sugar and cocoa powder and whip until light and fluffy. Add the cream, vanilla and salt and whip on low to combine. Turn to high and whip until light and fluffy and stiff peaks form.
- Drain the bourbon off the cherries (save the bourbon and make a nice cocktail for later). Reserve 5 to 6 cherries for decorating the top of the pie.
- Spoon half of the chocolate mousse into the cooled pie shell and spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the remaining cherries over the filling. Spoon the rest of the mousse over the cherries and smooth out. Top with the remaining cherries.
- For the topping: In the same mixing bowl, add the cream, sugar and vanilla and whip until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spoon on the topping and decorate with the saved cherries. Put in the fridge for at least an hour and up to overnight.

BOURBON CHERRIES RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- If you are using the bourbon, pour the liquid out of the cherries and replace it with bourbon. Let marinate for at least 48 hours. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar, and whipping cream beating well until a "dough" ball forms. Set aside. Drain cherries and reserve the bourbon for sipping later. If there are any stemless cherries in the jar add them to the "cherry infused bourbon" for added flavor. The fondant will be sticky, place a couple of Tablespoons of powdered sugar on a plate to frequently dip hands into while handling the fondant. Shape the fondant around the cherries, by pinching some fondant (about the size of a cherry roll into a ball with sugar powder coated hands. Press the ball into a flat round disc and using your thumbs continue to press into a thin circle. Wrap the circle of fondant around a cherry covering completely. Gently roll the covered cherry between your hands to smooth. Place fondant covered cherry on wax paper. Repeat until all cherries are covered.  Dipping: Microwave chocolate chips and shortening in a small microwavable bowl on HIGH for 90 seconds or until melted, stirring twice. Coat cherries by holding stems and dipping them into the chocolate mixture, allowing excess to drip; place on wax paper. Let stand until firm. If chocolate becomes hard to work with, return chocolate to microwave for 30 seconds. Store loosely covered in a cool place 1 week or until centers soften. Cherries can be eaten immediately, but they seem to get better after "resting" a while.
