Black Forest Pie
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 35 min. + cooling
YIELD: 8 servings.
With three active children, I don't usually fuss with fancy desserts. This one is simple but impressive--it's the one I make to show how much I care. The tempting combination of chocolate and tangy red cherries is guaranteed to make someone feel special.
