![]() ![]() You just need a chocolate bar, and a sharp knife. But, if homemade whipped cream isn’t your thing, you can use Cool Whip too.ĭon’t forget the chocolate shavings! This is really easy. Trust me when I say that it is SOO much better than the alternative. I had to keep with tradition and cover this cake with fresh whipped cream. You know my theory, more chocolate is more betta! After that, you pour the can of cherry pie filling over the top of the cake and spread it out, you can also push some of the cherries into the cake. The black forest poke cake is covered with a jar of hot fudge sauce. It is also served cold, which I think might be my favorite way to enjoy cake. This actually makes the cake spongy and “wet”, similar to a tres leches cake. This is where a canned cherry pie filling becomes your best friend! Thanks to my friends over at Lucky Leaf, you and I can both make this poke cake relatively quickly!Īre you familiar with the poke cake? It gets it name because after you remove it from the oven, you poke holes all over the top of the cake! I like to make large holes so that the toppings seep into the cake and it gets all ooey and gooey. The whole pitting process is just too much for me! Cherries just seem kind of difficult to work with in my opinion. So it surprised me how much I loved this Black Forest Poke Cake. I will be the first to admit that I don’t love cherries.

Next time we may try topping the whole pie with whipped cream. ![]() We chose to add the whipped cream around the edge of the pie, but feel free to top the pie however you desire. If you feel like two cans is going to be too much cherry then start with one can and add the second if needed. The very first time we made this pie we only used one can of cherry pie filling and felt the chocolate to cherry ratio was a little off so we changed up the recipe to use two cans and so glad we did. Once you have the chocolate filling finished and chilled all you need to do is top with the cherry pie filling and whipped cream. It’s a little more time consuming than creating a simple chocolate cream pie filling, but it is so worth it. We are huge fans of French silk pie so we decided to use that as the inspiration for the chocolate filling. ![]() The star of this pie is the chocolate filling. An Oreo pie crust would also be amazing with this pie! If you want to avoid turning on your oven we recommend using a prebaked pie crust.

You can follow our classic pie crust recipe or buy a premade pie crust if you are looking to save time. Put these three flavors together and you get our black forest pie.įirst off, you will need one pre-baked pie crust. You can’t go wrong with the combination of chocolate, cherry and whipped cream. ![]()
