How to Make Cherry Cordial Pie
- In a heavy saucepan, whisk together 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of the milk until a smooth paste forms.
- Gradually whisk in the remaining 3 cups of milk.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 8-10 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 egg yolks and 1 whole egg until light and frothy.
- Temper the egg mixture by slowly whisking in 1 cup of the hot milk mixture.
- Pour the tempered egg mixture into the remaining milk mixture in the saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer and slightly thickens (about 1-2 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in 4 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract until melted and smooth.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming. Cool completely.
- In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over simmering water, melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate morsels with 2 tablespoons of water, stirring until smooth.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.
- Arrange the cherries evenly over the chocolate layer.
- Pour the cooled filling slowly over the cherries and crust.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup heavy cream over medium heat until small bubbles appear around the edges.
- Remove from heat.
- Add the remaining 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate morsels and stir until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and combined.
- Pour the chocolate ganache into a bowl and let cool until slightly thickened.
- Pour the ganache over the pie, spreading evenly to the edges.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
