Ingredients

Crust Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Melted Butter
  • 1 & 1/2 cups Chocolate Graham Cracker Crumbs about 12 crackers

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups Cool Whip
  • 2 cups Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 30 Cherries pitted & sliced about 3/4 lb

Chocolate Topping Ingredients

  • 2 cups Cool Whip
  • 3/4 cup Dark Chocolate Morsels

Instructions

Crust Instructions

  • Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar.
  • Place into a 9 inch pie pan and press down keeping it as even as possible.
  • Bake for fifteen minutes at 325 degrees.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Filling Instructions

  • Thoroughly mix the greek yogurt and Cool Whip.
  • Gently fold in the sliced cherries so that the cherry juice doesn’t stain the filling and turn it pink.
  • Spoon the filling mixture into the cooled pie crust and spread into an even layer.

Chocolate Topping Instructions

  • In a microwave safe container, mix the Cool Whip and dark chocolate morsels.
  • Microwave for about one minute stopping every fifteen seconds to stir.
  • Once the chocolate starts melting into the Cool Whip stir until they are fully combined and look like a glaze.
  • Set the chocolate topping aside to cool and thicken for about five minutes.
  • Then pour the chocolate over the top of the pie and spread it into an even layer.
  • Add cherries on top and step back to admire your beautiful creation!

Notes

For individual servings like in the photo below, skip the crust baking step. Crumble the graham crackers then add them to the bottom of the jar.
When fresh cherries are not available I use Chobani Black Cherry Greek Yogurt.
Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
I prefer to place the pie in the freezer fifteen minutes before serving so that it is firm and easier to slice.
