Time 2h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup turbinado sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 cup light rum
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
Kosher salt
3 pounds Bing cherries, pitted and halved
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Cooking spray
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 1/2 14-ounce packages refrigerated piecrust dough (3 pieces)
Heavy cream, for brushing
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk the sugar, rum, vanilla, orange zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until the sugar dissolves. Add the cherries and cornstarch and toss; set aside until juicy, about 30 minutes. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. Place six 5-to-6-inch ceramic tart dishes on the prepared pan. Add 3/4 cup cherries to each dish using a slotted spoon; top each with 1 tablespoon butter and 2 teaspoons chocolate. Transfer the remaining cherry mixture to a saucepan; add 1/2 cup water and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Divide among the dishes; cool completely.
  • Dust a surface with flour. Using a paring knife, cut out 6 circles from the piecrust, 1/2 inch bigger than the tart dishes (use the dishes as a guide). Place on another baking sheet; chill until ready to bake. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Top each dish with a piece of dough, pressing the edge against the dish to seal; pierce several times with a knife. Bake 45 minutes, then brush each pie with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Continue baking until golden, about 15 more minutes. Serve with ice cream.

The crust on these pies is amazing! It's flaky and buttery, and it holds the filling perfectly.

These pies are so rich and decadent, a little goes a long way. I cut each pie into 8 slices and that was plenty for my guests.

I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of each pie and it was the perfect finishing touch. The ice cream melted into the filling and created a delicious sauce.

I used frozen cherries and they worked great. The pies were still delicious, even though I didn't have fresh cherries on hand.
