Yield: 12 servings
Prep: 35 min
Cook: 25 min

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • filling:
    • 1/2 cup butter
    • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
    • 3 large eggs, room temperature
    • 2/3 cup sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • topping:
    • 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
    • 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine wafer crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a lightly greased 11-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom.
  2. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° until lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  3. In a microwave, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Cool for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt until thickened, about 4 minutes. Blend in chocolate mixture. Stir in flour and mix well.
  4. Pour into crust; spread evenly. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Spread pie filling over the top.
  5. In a microwave, melt chocolate and cream; stir until smooth. Cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drizzle over tart. Chill until set.
