Ingredients

⅔ cup sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

¼ salt

2 cups milk

2 slightly beaten eggs

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 oz. semisweet chocolate, melted

1 8” baked pastry shell

1 16 oz. can (about 2 cups) pitted dark sweet cherries, drained and halved

½ cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

Combine sugar, cornstarch and ¼ teaspoon salt; gradually stir in milk.

Cook and stir until bubbly; cook 2 minutes more.

Stir small amount of hot mixture into eggs; return to hot mixture and cook 2 minutes more.

Remove from heat; add butter and vanilla.

Stir ½ cup egg mixture into chocolate; spread in pastry shell. Cover surface of vanilla mixture with waxed paper; cool 30 minutes. Arrange cherry halves, cut side down, on chocolate, reserving 8 halves.

Spread remaining vanilla mixture onto top of cherries.

Whip cream; spoon or pipe whipped cream onto top of pie. Add cherry halves.

Note: Recipe doesn’t call for sugar in whipped cream but I would add at least ½ teaspoon vanilla and 1-2 tablespoons sugar to the whipped cream before spooning onto top of pie.

Yummmmmmm!!!!! I love old recipes! Thanks for submitting this. I like to get jars of Morello Cherries from Trader Joe's but never really know what to do with them. This is one is a keeper. When I make it, I'll be sure to take a picture. I don't think I've ever see a four layer pie before!

The picture that was with the recipe was rather old fashioned, not the fancy looking stuff they do now but it still looked interesting.
I guess you could make as many layers as you would like, if you really work at it!
I wish I had found a delicious crust for it also. The ones I have so far don't go with Black Forest or are just plain ones.
Let me know how it turns out for you!

This looks delicious. Sounds like a graham cracker crust would go better than pastry, or perhaps you could try puff pastry for lightness?

I just so happen to have about 10 lbs of fresh cherries in my frige so m going to try this out using some & think i will modify to an Oreo choc cookie crumb crust. Thank you for this one, sounds like nice change.
