Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Cherry Cream Pie

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out your dough or crumb mixture to fit a pie dish, then gently press it into the base and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let the crust cool completely.
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the bottom of the cool pie crust, ensuring an even layer that encompasses all corners.
Prepare your instant pudding mix according to the package instructions, adding milk to create a thick, creamy consistency. Spread this chocolate layer over the cherry filling, ensuring an even distribution.
Dollop generous amounts of whipped cream on top of the chocolate layer, spreading it out smoothly to create a thick, fluffy top.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over the whipped cream layer and optionally add fresh cherry halves around the edges.
Refrigerate your assembled pie for a minimum of 2 hours to set beautifully.
