Filling

  • 6 oz semisweet baking chocolate, cut into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

Topping

  • 1 cup whipping cream, whipped
  • 1 oz semisweet baking chocolate, grated

Steps

    In small saucepan, melt 6 oz chocolate and the butter over low heat, stirring constantly; remove from heat. In small bowl, beat powdered sugar and cream cheese. Stir in melted chocolate mixture; beat until smooth. Add 1 cup of the cherry pie filling; blend gently. Set aside remaining pie filling. Spread mixture evenly into cooled crust. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make this impressive chocolate-cherry tart up to 24 hours ahead of time and store covered in the fridge. Instead of using grated chocolate, garnish the top of the pie with whipped cream and chocolate curls. Or, garnish each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a well-drained, stemmed maraschino cherry or a chocolate-covered cherry!
