Chocolate Cherry Pie

Chocolate Cherry Pie

Overview

Fresh cherries, of course, make for the best cherry pie. This bright red and slightly darker fruit makes me feel that it doesn’t go well with the yellow meringue. The whole tone gets even better with the addition of chocolate. At the same time, the sweetness brought by the rich chocolate and the slightly sour lemon enhance the delicious taste.

  8. After 2 hours, take out the pie dough and roll it on the baking sheet with a rolling pin, cutting off any excess. Because I use a pizza baking pan, I can fold the edges by hand, which makes it look better when baked.
