Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out your pie crust on a lightly floured surface until 1/8 inch thick. Fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trim excess, prick with a fork, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool.
  2. Spoon cherry pie filling evenly in the cooled pie crust, smoothing out to ensure a delightful foundation.
  3. Prepare chocolate pudding according to package instructions with milk until thickened or mix cocoa, sugar, and cornstarch for homemade, then cook until thick. Cool briefly before spreading over the cherry layer.
  4. Spread whipped cream generously over the chocolate pudding layer with a spatula for even texture.
  5. Sprinkle chocolate chips and garnish with fresh cherries if available for a beautiful presentation.
  6. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to set, then slice and serve.
