BLACK FOREST PIE

     BLKFOREST-PIE - A rich chocolate/cherry pie

     I got this recipe from my mom, I don't know where she got
     it.  It is very rich, so be careful!

INGREDIENTS (1 pie)
     1         pie crust, cooked
     3/4 cup   sugar
     1/3 cup   unsweetened cocoa
     2 Tbsp    flour
     1/4 cup   butter
     1/3 cup   milk
     2         eggs, beaten
     1 1/4 lb  cherry pie filling (one large can)
     8 oz      whipped cream
     1 oz      unsweetened chocolate, coarsely grated

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Prepare your favorite crust for a filled 1-crust
               pie.

          (2)  Preheat oven to 350 deg. F.  In a medium saucepan,
               combine sugar, cocoa and flour; add butter and
               milk.  Cook until mixture begins to boil, stirring
               constantly.  Remove from heat.

          (3)  Add small amount of hot mixture to eggs, mix well,
               then fold egg mixture into the chocolate mixture.

          (4)  Fold 1/3 of the pie filling into chocolate mix-
               ture; save the rest for the topping.  Pour cho-
               colate mixture into pie crust.

          (5)  Bake at 350 deg. F for 35-45 minutes or until
               center is set but still shiny. Cool, and chill one
               hour.

          (6)  Whip the cream.  Combine 2 cups whipped cream and
               grated chocolate and spread over cooled pie.  Top
               with remaining pie filling, and the remaining
               whipped cream.  Chill at least half an hour before
               serving.

NOTES
     I use a pre-mixed whipped topping rather than real whipped
     cream when I make this pie.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 30 minutes preparation, 3 hours
     cooking and cooling.  Precision: measure the ingredients.
