Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 cookies chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups whipped topping (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup maraschino cherries, diced
- 2 tablespoons maraschino cherry syrup
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
- whole maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor, or by placing them in a resealable plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in a microwave or on the stovetop, and mix it thoroughly with the cookie crumbs until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Refrigerate the crust for at least 10 minutes to firm up.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping, the diced maraschino cherries, and the maraschino cherry syrup. Mix until fully combined.
Spread the cherry cream cheese filling evenly into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Allow the chocolate ganache to cool slightly, then drizzle it over the top of the pie in a decorative pattern.
Spread the remaining whipped topping over the chocolate drizzle layer, or use a piping bag to add dollops of whipped topping around the edges of the pie.
Optional: Garnish with dark chocolate shavings and whole maraschino cherries for an extra touch of elegance.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
