The other day I had someone on the website request a cherry pie and I did my best. This was my first attempt and it came out amazing. Some people might not like it so feel free to tweak it to your taste buds. The chocolate after taste from the crust is heaven to me after the sweetness from the cherries. I challenge you to not eat the whole pie when finished. :)
Chocolate Cherry Pie
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- water
Filling
- 4 cups of cherries pitted and sliced
- 1 cup of water
- 1/4 raw organic honey
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit
- Combine all crust ingredients EXCEPT water in a bowl and mix well. You should have a crumbly mixture
- Next slowly add water in 1 Tbsp increments and mix well to help you form a dough
- Once you have a dough, grease your cake pan with coconut oil and using your hands spread your crust throughout your pan and up the sides ensuring it is even around the pan (you will have leftover which you can crumble on top)
- Place your crust in the oven and bake for 8 minutes
- While your crust is baking, place your water and honey in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until well combined
- Slowly add in your arrowroot powder and continually stir until your sauce thickens
- Add in all your cherries and then continue to stir over the heat for 2-3 minutes
- Remove from the heat and add your almond extract and stir well
- You should have your crust out of the oven now, pour your cherry mixture into your crust and then put back in the oven
- Bake for 15-20 minutes
- Remove and let cool and Enjoy

Can I use this for pumpkin pie without baking it first? Ok to leave out the chocolate too?
You can sure try it
Hi,
where is the chocolate?
This tastes amazing, but i must have done something wrong with the filling … it’s pretty soupy, so I can’t really cut it into pie pieces. Thoughts?
Hmmm make individual tarts in ramekins :)
What size cake pan di dyou use? Standard 8 inch?
Yep eight inches
Is is it 1/4 cup of raw honey? Can’t wait to try it!
Yes it is. Sorry
This is a rad idea. I’ve just swapped to Paleo and having a bunch of people over for dinner on Saturday. My question is, could I swap the cheeries for another fruit? Such as strawberries/rhubarb?
You sure could, swap away
