With three active children, I don't usually fuss with fancy desserts. This one is simple but impressive-it's the one I make to show how much I care. The tempting combination of chocolate and tangy red cherries is guaranteed to make someone feel special. Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar |
1/3 cup baking cocoa |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup milk |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling, divided |
1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches) |
whipped topping, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa and flour. Stir in milk until smooth. Add butter. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.
2. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into eggs; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Fold in half of the pie filling.
3. Pour into pastry shell. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until filling is almost set. Cool completely on a wire rack. Just before serving, top with remaining pie filling and whipped topping if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.
