Package pudding mix, canned cherries and a frozen crust simplify preparation of this dessert. Friends often request it when they come to our house. Sometimes I'll sprinkle toasted pecans on top for crunch. —Pearl Lenz of Wichita, Kansas

My husband and I love this pie. It is creamy and chocolaty and very easy to make. I have made it many times and enjoy it each time.
