Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 single deep-dish pie crust (frozen is okay)
1 small package chocolate pudding and pie filling
2 c milk
1 can(s) cherry pie filling
whipped cream or cool whip for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare pudding as directed on package (do not use instant). Cool for 15 minutes.
  • 2. Pour pudding into pre-baked pie shell. Chill for 3-4 hours.
  • 3. Spoon cherry pie filling over chilled pie, covering entire top of pie. Garnish with whipped cream as desired. Serve.
  • 4. Refrigerate any leftover portions.
  • 5. To prebake pie crust for a filled pie: Prick the bottom of the pie crust with a fork, covering well. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit and place into pie shell. Weigh the paper down with pie weights or about a pound of dry beans. Bake in a preheated 400ยบ oven, directly on rack, for 10-15 minutes until edges are starting to brown. Remove from oven and remove the parchment paper and weights. Let crust cool before filling.
