Black Forest Pie

I would like to retract my previous post of "best pie ever" now that I have discovered the best pie in the world (at least until I make the next one). I actually had withdrawals when this one was gone though.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup sugar

1/3 cup cocoa powder

2 Tbsp. flour

1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter

1/3 cup milk (I used fat free)

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 can (21 oz.) cherry pie filling, divided

1 unbaked 9-inch pastry shell

2 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, coarsely grated

1 tub (8 oz.) Low Fat Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed, divided

PREHEAT oven to 350°F.

Combine sugar, cocoa and flour in medium saucepan.

Add butter and milk. Bring to boil on medium heat, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat. Stir small amount of hot mixture into eggs; return to hot mixture.

Add half of the cherry pie filling; stir until well blended. Pour into crust.

BAKE 35 to 45 min. or until center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 1 hour.

ADD half of grated chocolate to 2 cups of the whipped topping; stir gently until well blended.

Spread over pie; top with remaining cherry pie filling and the remaining whipped topping. Top with remaining half of grated chocolate. Refrigerate at least one hour before serving. Store leftover pie in refrigerator.
