Ingredients

Oreo Crust

  • 24 Oreos
  • ¼ cup butter melted

Chocolate-Cherry Pie

  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped
  • 8 tablespoons butter sliced
  • 3 large eggs separated
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 3 ounces cherry juice
  • 1 ½ cups cherries fresh or frozen, chopped, pitted and stems removed
  • ¼ cup coconut toasted

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, crush Oreos until they become fine crumbs. You can also place the Oreos in a plastic zip bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  • In a bowl, mix Oreo crumbs with melted butter until damp. In a greased pie place, press the crumbs on the bottom and up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes and allow to cool.
  • In a double boiler or bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter while stirring frequently until smooth.
  • Add the yolks and beat well with a hand mixer after each addition. Remove from heat.
  • Using a different bowl, beat the egg whites until they reach the soft peak stage. Add 2 tablespoons of the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • In another bowl, beat the cream and sugar until it starts to thicken. Add the cherry juice and keep beating until it forms soft to medium peaks.
  • Gently fold in the egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Once the egg whites are fully incorporated, fold in the cherry whipped cream and stir in the chopped cherries.
  • Pour into cooled Oreo crust. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for a few hours or overnight. Before serving, top with toasted coconut. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If fresh cherries aren't available, you can use frozen cherries. Just thaw and drain excess moisture before using.
