BLACK FOREST PIE
BLKFOREST-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! IH "1 pie"
1 pie crust, cooked
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 Tbsp flour
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 lb cherry pie filling (one large can)
8 oz whipped cream
1 oz unsweetened chocolate, coarsely grated
PROCEDURE
(1) Prepare your favorite crust for a filled 1-crust
pie.
(2) Preheat oven to 350 deg. F. In a medium saucepan,
combine sugar, cocoa and flour; add butter and
milk. Cook until mixture begins to boil, stirring
constantly. Remove from heat.
(3) Add small amount of hot mixture to eggs, mix well,
then fold egg mixture into the chocolate mixture.
(4) Fold 1/3 of the pie filling into chocolate mix-
ture; save the rest for the topping. Pour cho-
colate mixture into pie crust.
(5) Bake at 350 deg. F for 35-45 minutes or until
center is set but still shiny. Cool, and chill one
hour.
(6) 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.
RATING
Difficulty: easy. Time: 30 minutes preparation, 3 hours
cooking and cooling. Precision: measure the ingredients.
