Homemade cherry chocolate chip pie with a golden crust and gooey filling

Cherry Chocolate Chip Pie

If you’re craving something sweet, fruity, and indulgently chocolatey, this Cherry Chocolate Chip Pie is your perfect match! This pie combines gooey cherry filling with melty chocolate chips, all nestled in a buttery, flaky crust. It’s a beautiful balance of tart and sweet—and the best part? It’s incredibly easy to make with just a few pantry staples.

  • Total Time: 1 hour and 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6–8 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) pre-made pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
  • 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional but highly recommended!)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (to mix with the egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the pie crust: If using a store-bought crust, place it in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
  3. Mix the filling: In a bowl, combine the cherry pie filling, chocolate chips, sugar (if using), cornstarch, and almond extract. Stir gently to mix.
  4. Fill the crust: Pour the cherry chocolate mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
  5. Add a top crust (optional): You can cover the pie with a full crust, lattice pattern, or leave it open-faced. If adding a top, don’t forget to cut slits for steam to escape.
  6. Brush with egg wash: Beat the egg and milk together, then brush it over the top crust for a golden finish.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Cool before serving: Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour so the filling can set.

Notes

Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla bean ice cream. You can swap in blueberry or raspberry filling, or toss in chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch.
