1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
2 cups whipped topping or whipped cream
12 maraschino cherries or fresh cherries
1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Blind bake your pie crust if needed and let it cool completely.
2. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly in the cooled crust.
3. Whisk the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
4. Spread the pudding over the cherry layer in an even layer.
5. Top with whipped topping or freshly whipped cream and smooth it out.
6. Decorate the top with cherries and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes
Use cold milk to ensure the pudding sets properly.
Chill the pie long enough so the layers hold when sliced.
Homemade whipped cream adds a richer flavor than store-bought.
