BLACK FOREST PIE

A rich chocolate/cherry pie

I got this recipe from my mom, I don't know where she got it. It is very rich, so be careful!

Ingredients

(1 pie)

1 pie crust, cooked
150 g sugar
40 g unsweetened cocoa
30 ml flour
50 g butter
80 ml milk
2 eggs, beaten
600 g cherry pie filling (one large can)
250 g whipped cream
30 g unsweetened chocolate, coarsely grated

Procedure

Prepare your favorite crust for a filled 1-crust pie.
Preheat oven to 175C In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa and flour; add butter and milk. Cook until mixture begins to boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
Add small amount of hot mixture to eggs, mix well, then fold egg mixture into the chocolate mixture.
Fold 1/3 of the pie filling into chocolate mixture; save the rest for the topping. Pour chocolate mixture into pie crust.
Bake at 175C for 35-45 minutes or until center is set but still shiny. Cool, and chill one hour.
Whip the cream. Combine 2 cups whipped cream and grated chocolate and spread over cooled pie. Top with remaining pie filling, and the remaining whipped cream. Chill at least half an hour before serving.

Notes

I use a pre-mixed whipped topping rather than real whipped cream when I make this pie.
