Cherry Chocolate Pie
Diabetic Friendly Recipe
Using a prepared crust speeds preparation of this scrumptious pie packed with tart cherries and a chocolate filling.
Recipe Ingredients
1 prepared 9 inch pie shell, baked
Cherry Topping Ingredients:
1-3/4 cups thawed frozen pitted tart cherries (1/2 or a 1-pound bag)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Chocolate Filling Ingredients:
6 ounces soft fat free cream cheese
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons fat free milk
Recipe Directions
For the topping, combine the cherries, sugar, 1/4 cup water,
and the cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Stir well to dissolve
the cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until
the sauce is thickened and clear. Add the almond extract and
stir to blend. Refrigerate the sauce to chill and firm.
For the filling, combine the cream cheese and chocolate chips in a small pan or in the top of a double boiler. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the chips are melted; add the milk and stir until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the chocolate filling into the baked pie crust. Let cool at least ten minutes, or until the pudding sets. Gently spread the cooled cherry topping over the chocolate layer. Chill the pie at least two hours before serving.
