Why You'll Love This Recipe

Chocolate + Cherry: Indulge in the perfect marriage of sweet and tart flavors with this decadent Cherry Chocolate Chip Pie. Flaky, golden crust brimming with plump, juicy cherries and rich chocolate chips. This golden brown pie crust is then topped with melted chocolate for the best cherry pie. If you love this combo, you'll also love Chocolate Cherry Whipped Cream Cake.
Eggless Pie: This Cherry Chocolate Chip Pie is naturally eggless pie. I use milk for the pie wash in place of eggs. Milk is a great substitute for egg wash if you have an egg allergy or if you just don't want to use a whole egg just for pie wash! You can also use heavy whipping cream, coconut milk, or even melted butter.
Flaky Pie Crust: Buttery and flaky pie crust is filled with juicy cherries and semi sweet chocolate chips. The combination of the flaky pie crust with the sweet cherries and rich chocolate is just perfect in this naturally eggless pie.
Organic Pie: While you can buy a cherry pie at your grocery store bakery, this homemade Cherry Chocolate Chip Pie is so elevated! Not only in taste, but also in quality of ingredients. You'll feel good about indulging in this cherry pie!

Ingredients

Butter: Be sure to use a high quality butter for pie crust. Check out my post Best Salted Butter for Baking where I do a comparison of butters for pie crust!
Cherries: You can use fresh cherries, so long as you de-stem and pit them. Or, you can also use frozen cherries as well as these come already pitted and de-stemmed. If you are using frozen cherries, you'll need to thaw them in the fridge for 24 hours and drain off excess liquid before making the filling. Read more in my post Can You Make Pie With Frozen Fruit?
Cornstarch: I use organic cornstarch to solidify the fruit juices as the pie bakes in the oven. This ensures that when you cut the pie, the juices don't run out everywhere. It also helps prevent soggy pie crust.
Chocolate: I use organic semi sweet chocolate chips both inside this organic pie and for the chocolate drizzle on top! You can also use dark chocolate if you prefer.
Milk: I use whole milk as a pie wash, this makes this organic pie naturally eggless while still giving you a golden brown crust.

Baker's Tips

Always weigh ingredients for the best results.
If you're new to making pie crust, check out How to Make Pie Crust in a Mixer.
You can also use another kind of pie crust like Brown Butter Pie Crust or Pie Crust with Sourdough Discard for a different flavor profile!
You can use frozen cherries (which is what I usually do for ease since they are pitted!). Just thaw them in the fridge for 24 hours, then strain off excess water if you want to use frozen.
You can also use heavy whipping cream for the pie wash or even egg if you prefer.
You can use dark chocolate or even milk or white chocolate in place of semi sweet, if you prefer.
Always let the pie cool completely before slicing it, this will ensure that the juices don't run out.
Store pie in a cool, dry place after baked.

How to Make Cherry Chocolate Chip Pie

flour in a glass mixing bowl on a white marble counter.

To make the crust: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour and cane sugar. Turn the mixer on low for two to three rotations to combine the dry ingredients.

flour and butter in a glass mixing bowl on a white marble counter.

Remove the butter from the fridge and chop into small cubes. The smaller the cubes, the flakier the crust. Cut the stick of butter into four and then chop into small cubes from there. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Measure out the cold water and have it ready.

Turn the mixer on low and slowly start to incorporate the ingredients. Gradually turn the mixer to medium speed. Once the butter mixture looks like wet sand, immediately add in all the water. As soon as the dough comes together, stop the mixer. Do not over mix.

two pie crusts shaped into disks wrapped in plastic wrap on a white marble counter.

Divide the dough into two portions, one should be almost double the size of the other. I prefer to weigh them, the large one should weigh 312 grams and the small should weigh 170 grams. Form them both into disks and wrap separately in plastic wrap. Allow to cool in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. To make the filling: In a medium bowl, add the cane sugar, flour, and cornstarch, and mix together. Add the cherries and ½ cup chocolate chips to the sugar mixture, and stir to combine completely. Set aside.

Grease the pie pan well with butter. Remove the pie dough from the fridge. Remove the plastic wrap and place on a floured surface. First, roll out the large disk to ¼-inch thick, it should be about 11-inches in diameter. Place the pie dough into the pie pan, and press lightly to form against the pan. It should be large enough that the dough folds right over the top. Roll out the smaller disk to ¼-inch thick, it should be about 9-inches in diameter. Set aside.

Gently place the top pie dough on top. Crimp the two together, and then roll the pie crust twice to create an edge that seals the filling in.

Flute the edges by using your thumb and index finger of your right hand to pinch the rolled edge of dough and push your index finger of your left hand into it to create the “flute”. Continue around the entire pie to flute the edges.

Make a vent in the top of the pie using a sharp knife. I like to just make four little vents.

This pie should be stored in a cool, dry place. I like to leave it out on the counter for a few days while we eat it. Don't cover it under a cake dome as it will become soggy.
