NAME

     BLKFOREST-PIE - A rich chocolate/cherry pie
     I got this recipe from my mom, I don't know  where  she  got
     it.  It is very rich, so be careful!

INGREDIENTS (1 pie)

     1         pie crust, cooked
     150 g     sugar
     40 g      unsweetened cocoa
     30 ml     flour
     50 g      butter
     80 ml     milk
     2         eggs, beaten
     600 g     cherry pie filling (one large can)
     250 g     whipped cream
     30 g      unsweetened chocolate, coarsely grated

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Prepare your favorite crust for a  filled  1-crust
               pie.
          (2)  Preheat oven to 175 deg. C.  In a medium saucepan,
               combine  sugar,  cocoa  and  flour; add butter and
               milk.  Cook until mixture begins to boil, stirring
               constantly.  Remove from heat.
          (3)  Add small amount of hot mixture to eggs, mix well,
               then fold egg mixture into the chocolate mixture.
          (4)  Fold 1/3 of the pie filling  into  chocolate  mix-
               ture;  save  the  rest for the topping.  Pour cho-
               colate mixture into pie crust.
          (5)  Bake at 175 deg. C for 35 - 45  minutes  or  until
               center is set but still shiny. Cool, and chill one
               hour.
          (6)  Whip the cream.  Combine 2 cups whipped cream  and
               grated  chocolate and spread over cooled pie.  Top
               with remaining  pie  filling,  and  the  remaining
               whipped cream.  Chill at least half an hour before
               serving.

NOTES

     I use a pre-mixed whipped topping rather than  real  whipped
     cream when I make this pie.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 30  minutes  preparation,  3  hours
     cooking and cooling.  Precision: measure the ingredients.
