Description

This No-Bake Easy Cherry Chocolate Chip Pie combines a creamy, sweetened cream cheese and whipped topping filling studded with mini chocolate chips, layered over a crisp graham cracker crust, and topped with vibrant cherry pie filling. It’s a simple yet indulgent dessert perfect for summer gatherings or anytime you want a quick, fuss-free treat that requires no baking.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 prepared graham cracker pie crust (9-inch)

Filling

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Topping

  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling


Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a silky texture.
  2. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, combining thoroughly without deflating the whipped topping to maintain a light and airy consistency.
  3. Add chocolate chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips evenly into the cream cheese and whipped topping mixture to distribute chocolate flavor in every bite.
  4. Assemble the pie base: Spread the prepared cream cheese and chocolate chip mixture evenly into the graham cracker pie crust, smoothing the surface for an even layer.
  5. Add cherry topping: Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, gently spreading it to cover the surface without mixing into the base layer.
  6. Chill the pie: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours until fully set and firm, enhancing flavor melding and making it easier to slice.
  7. Serve: Remove from the refrigerator and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with extra whipped topping or chocolate shavings for added appeal and richness.

Notes

  • Use a chocolate cookie crust instead of graham cracker crust for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Swap the cherry pie filling with blueberry or strawberry pie filling to vary the fruit component.
  • For a firmer pie, freeze for 1–2 hours before serving instead of just chilling.
