Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: German
Serves: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 pre-made chocolate cookie crust
  2. 1 cup heavy cream
  3. 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  4. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  5. 1 cup cherry pie filling
  6. Chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill a large mixing bowl and electric mixer beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to ensure the whipped cream will form properly.
  2. Remove the chilled bowl and beaters. Pour the heavy cream into the bowl and begin whipping at medium-high speed until soft peaks start to form.
  3. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to whip the cream. Beat until stiff, stable peaks form that hold their shape when the beater is lifted.
  4. Take the pre-made chocolate cookie crust and spread a thin, even layer of cherry pie filling across the bottom of the crust, covering the entire surface.
  5. Carefully fold the whipped cream over the cherry layer, creating gentle swirls and ensuring complete coverage of the cherry filling.
  6. Use a spatula to smooth the whipped cream surface, creating an even and attractive top layer.
  7. Sprinkle chocolate shavings generously over the whipped cream surface for decorative garnish.
  8. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld together before serving.
  9. When ready to serve, slice into 8 equal portions and optionally add an extra dollop of whipped cream or a maraschino cherry on top.

Tips

  1. Chill is Key: Make sure to thoroughly chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream. This ensures the fluffiest, most stable whipped cream possible.
  2. Whipping Wisdom: When making the whipped cream, watch for those perfect stiff peaks - they should stand up straight when you lift the beater and look glossy, not grainy.
  3. Layer with Love: Take your time when spreading the cherry filling and whipped cream to create beautiful, even layers that look as good as they taste.
  4. Chocolate Shavings Hack: For the most elegant chocolate shavings, use a vegetable peeler on a room temperature chocolate bar for perfect curls.
  5. Chill Time Matters: Don't rush the refrigeration! Those 2 hours allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set perfectly.
  6. Serving Suggestion: For an extra touch of elegance, garnish each slice with a fresh maraschino cherry or an extra sprinkle of chocolate shavings just before serving.
