How to Make Black Forest Cream Pie
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Prepare pie crust according to package directions for a 9-inch baked shell.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 9-11 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and margarine over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of the cherry pie filling.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled pie crust and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate layer to set.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the grated chocolate.
- Spread the whipped cream mixture evenly over the chocolate layer.
- Spoon the remaining cherry pie filling evenly around the outer edge of the pie.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until serving time, to allow flavors to meld.
- Garnish with chocolate curls before serving, if desired.
