Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just beginning to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Carefully spread or drizzle the chocolate mixture over the cherry filling.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Let the pie cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the chocolate to set.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Use a pie shield or foil to prevent the crust edges from over-browning.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Semi-sweet chocolate gives the best balance, but dark chocolate works for a richer flavor.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Let the pie fully chill before slicing for cleaner cuts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n For extra flavor, stir a teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract into the cherry filling.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Serve chocolate cherry pie chilled or slightly warmed with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
