Black Forest Pie. An easy to make creamy chocolatey and very slightly boozy version of the classic dessert gateau, in pie form! You can make it in an alcohol-free version too.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Black Forest Pie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This Black Forest Pie Recipe came about when I was invited to a summer barbecue at a friend\u2019s house. My invitations out almost always come with the assumption that I will bring along something for dessert.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have been having a bit of a heat wave around here, so I did not want the oven to be on for a long time. I didn\u2019t want to heating up the kitchen even more and adding to the already sweltering\u00a0 humidity levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cherries for Black Forest Pie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Truthfully, had I not already had a round or pie pastry ready in the freezer, I would have made a graham wafer crumb crust for this pie; exactly as I do for my No Bake Cherry Cheesecake Pie<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With the pastry already on hand, I let it thaw in the fridge overnight and baked the crust early in the morning at the coolest part of the day. Next time I will be trying that graham wafer crumb crust though. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cherries and Cherry Brandy for Black Forest Pie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

My daughter in particular loves anything with that crumb crust. Our friends in the UK can us digestive biscuits as well. I often see cheesecake recipes from overseas that use those instead of graham wafer crumbs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cherries got pitted and soaked overnight in some cherry brandy but this is optional of course. Kirsch liqueur is also a great option but I\u2019m finding it increasingly hard to find in these parts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The chocolate filling is very easy to make and is, in essence a sort of whipped chocolate ganache. Good quality chocolate and whipping cream are basically what it is made from.<\/span><\/p>\n

Black Forest Pie, how to add the cherries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The cherries are added when half of the chocolate filling is added to the pie, then topped with the second half of the pie. This gives them a \u201csuspended\u201d in chocolate look that is very appealing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pie went down very well at the backyard barbecue and now I have another easy recipe to try again this summer. Next invitation I\u2019ll be trying that alternative crust to see which I prefer.<\/span><\/p>\n
