This pie is the perfect marriage of flavors and textures.

The slight tartness of the cherries balances the richness of the filling, while the chocolate adds a fun twist. Every bite feels indulgent without being too heavy.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 cup cherry pie filling – Sweet, fruity, and loaded with delicious cherry goodness.
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips – Adds texture and a burst of chocolate flavor.
• Fresh cherries for garnish (optional) – A simple but stunning way to elevate the presentation.

Kitchen Tools:

• Mixing bowls
• Spatula
• Plastic wrap
• Knife for slicing

How to Make No-Bake Cherry Chocolate Chip Pie

1. Prepare the Whipped Cream

In a mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Set aside. This whipped cream is the secret to making the pie light and fluffy!

2. Mix the Cream Cheese

In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. This ensures there are no lumps in your pie filling.

3. Combine the Mixtures

Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Fold gently to maintain the whipped cream’s light texture—this is key for a fluffy, cloud-like filling.

4. Add the Chocolate Chips

Stir in the mini chocolate chips, mixing until they are evenly distributed throughout the filling. These tiny chocolate chips will melt in your mouth with every bite!

5. Assemble the Pie

• Spread half of the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture into the bottom of the pre-made graham cracker crust.
• Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the cream layer. The vibrant red cherries add a burst of color and fruity flavor to the pie.
• Top with the remaining cream cheese mixture, smoothing it out with a spatula for a clean, finished look.

6. Chill the Pie

Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up, making slicing easier.

7. Serve and Enjoy

Once chilled, slice the pie and garnish with fresh cherries if you like. They add an extra touch of elegance and a pop of color that makes this dessert irresistible!

What to Serve with Cherry Chocolate Chip Pie

This pie is delightful on its own, but if you want to dress it up even more, try serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. A side of vanilla ice cream would also complement the flavors beautifully!

Tips for the Perfect Pie

• Softened Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid any lumps.
• Whipped Cream Caution: Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently to maintain the fluffy texture.
• Chill Time: Don’t rush the chilling process—4 hours is the minimum to ensure your pie is set and easy to slice.

Storage Instructions

This pie can be stored in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap, for up to 3 days. It’s a great make-ahead dessert, so feel free to prepare it the night before a gathering.

Frequently Asked Questions

To make this recipe gluten-free, simply use a gluten-free graham cracker crust. Everything else in the recipe is naturally gluten-free!

Can I add other toppings?

Sure! You can sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top or even drizzle melted chocolate or caramel sauce for a richer treat. Nuts like chopped almonds or pecans would add a crunchy element as well.
