How to cook Chocolate Cherry Pie

Step 1

Prepare a springform pan with a diameter of 20-22 for baking chocolate cherry pie. Brush it with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Heat the oven to 170°C.

Step 2

Break the chocolate and, together with butter and 30 g of sugar, put on low heat. Stirring, heat until a mass of a homogeneous consistency is obtained. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and let cool.

Step 3

Separate the eggs for the pie dough into whites and yolks. Put the whites in the refrigerator until use. Add the yolks one at a time to the chocolate mass, whisking with a whisk on low speed. Add flour sifted with salt and mix.

Step 4

Beat the whites with a mixer on high speed until soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining sugar. Beat until strong peaks. Sugar must be completely dispersed in the protein mass.

Step 5

Mix a third of the protein mass into the chocolate. Then, whisking lightly with a whisk or fork, add the remaining egg whites. Stir quickly. The chocolate pie dough is ready.

Step 6

Pour the dough into the prepared form and place in the oven for 35-40 minutes. The top of the finished cake should spring back slightly when pressed. Let the cake rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Step 7

Prepare the chocolate pie sauce. Place the cherries, sugar, lemon zest and wine in a small bowl. Put on fire and, stirring, bring to a boil. Cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Step 8

Transfer the cooled chocolate cake to a large plate and pour over the cold cherry sauce. Serve immediately. You can decorate with mint or lemon balm leaves.

Chocolate Cherry Pie - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use frozen cherries for the chocolate pie sauce?

Yes, you can definitely use frozen cherries! Make sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the sauce. This will prevent the sauce from becoming too watery.

How do I store leftover chocolate cherry pie?

Store leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The cherry sauce might make the crust a little softer over time.

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Yes, you can bake the chocolate cake layer a day ahead of time. Let it cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it at room temperature. Prepare the cherry sauce just before serving to maintain the best flavor and texture.

I don't have vanilla extract. Is there a substitute?

If you don't have vanilla extract, you can substitute it with an equal amount of almond extract or a tablespoon of coffee liqueur for a richer flavor. You can also skip it altogether.

What can I serve with this chocolate cherry pie?

This pie is delicious on its own, but it's also great served with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Can I make this pie gluten-free?

Yes, you can! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Be sure to check that all other ingredients are also gluten-free.

Can I increase the portion of this recipe if I want to serve more people?

Yes, you can easily double the recipe to serve more people. Simply double all the ingredients and use a larger springform pan, increasing the baking time slightly. Monitor the cake closely and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.

What type of wine is recommended for the cherry sauce?

A fruity red wine like Pinot Noir or Beaujolais works well in the cherry sauce. You can also use a dry red wine for a less sweet flavor. If you prefer not to use wine, substitute with cherry juice or grape juice for a non-alcoholic version.
