Preparation Steps

  • Prepare the Pie Crust by baking according to package instructions and allowing it to cool completely.
  • Chill the Cherry Filling by spreading it evenly over the cooled crust and refrigerating for 15 minutes.
  • Melt the Chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in increments of 20 seconds, then allow to cool slightly.
  • Beat the Cream Cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  • Combine Mousse Ingredients by adding melted chocolate, powdered sugar, and vanilla to cream cheese; mix until incorporated.
  • Whip the Heavy Cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, taking 3-4 minutes.
  • Fold the Whipped Cream into the chocolate mixture gently, ensuring no white streaks remain.
  • Assemble the Pie by pouring the mousse over the cherry filling, ensuring an even spread; refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Prepare the Topping by whipping the remaining heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  • Decorate the Pie by spreading the whipped cream on top, creating swirls or peaks.
  • Add the Finishing Touches with maraschino cherries and chocolate curls or shavings for decoration.
  • Chill and Serve by allowing the pie to chill for one more hour before slicing.

Notes

For best results, chill the mousse properly and avoid overmixing when folding in the whipped cream. Use high-quality ingredients for memorable flavors.
