Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons cocoa powder (I used Dutch processed)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in cubes and frozen
1 egg yolk (chilled)
1/4 cup ice cold water (+/- 1 tablespoon as needed)
4 oz dark chocolate
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 lbs pitted cherries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup kirsch
1/3 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 - 3 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon kirsch
shaved chocolate
fresh cherries

Steps:

  • In a food processor, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt together. Pulse until combined.
  • Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Run the food processor and add the yolk, then slowly add the water. Stop at 1/4 cup and test the mixture. It should look like wet sand, but come together when pressed. Add another tablespoon as needed.
  • Turn the pie crust dough onto plastic wrap and form into a disc. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Melt the chocolate for the ganache, if using. Stir in the heavy cream until it is well combined. Set aside until needed.
  • Take out the dough and roll out into a circle 1/4 inch thick. Place in a pie pan fold in the edges under the dough so it is flush with the lip of the pan. Decorate as desired. Cover and freeze for 30 minutes to an hour. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • While the crust is freezing, mix together all the ingredients for the filling into a pan and heat on medium high. Cook until the cherries soften and juices have thickened considerably. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Remove the pie crust and cover with parchment paper, then fill with pie weights or dried beans or rice. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove and discard the parchment and weights. Bake for another 5 - 8 minutes.
  • Set aside to cool to room temperature. Brush the bottom of the pie with the ganache. Pour the cherries into the pie crust. Chill in the refrigerator.
  • Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and kirsch until iit forms stiff peaks.
  • Top the pie with the whipped cream, then top with the shaved chocolate and fresh cherries.
  • Best stored chilled in an air tight container.

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients, especially the cherries. Fresh, ripe cherries will give the pie the best flavor.
  • If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely before using. This will help to prevent the pie from becoming icy.
  • You can use either a graham cracker crust or a chocolate cookie crust for this pie. If you are using a chocolate cookie crust, make sure to press the crumbs firmly into the pie plate so that the crust is not too crumbly.
  • When making the whipped cream, be sure to whip it until it is stiff peaks. This will help to stabilize the whipped cream and prevent it from becoming runny.
  • If you are short on time, you can use store-bought whipped cream instead of making your own.
  • Garnish the pie with fresh cherries, chocolate shavings, or whipped cream before serving.

Conclusion:

This Black Forest Freezer Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate, cherries, and whipped cream is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give this pie a try!
