Description
–
This is an easy, easy dessert and it combines two of my favorite
flavors – chocolate and cherries. The cherry pie filling adds a lot of color
and flavor.
The chocolate donut can be one left over from the office and
the chocolate top doesn’t have to look perfect because it is going to be
covered in the pie filling.
With only two ingredients (three if you count the whipped cream), this is a fast and easy dessert.
Whole donuts can be served or slice each one like a cake (this is a very filling dessert).
Ingredients
–
6 chocolate round donuts
1 can cherry pie filling
Whipped cream (optional)
Directions –
Slice donuts in half and place the bottoms on serving dishes.
Spoon half of the cherry pie filling over each of the bottoms. Place the tops
on the donuts and spoon the remaining cherry pie filling over the top.
Put a shot of whipped cream on each donut.
Variations –
Top with whipped cream if you want to add a little more color
and flavor. You can also add a layer of whipped cream before putting the tops
back on to add a white stripe on the donuts.
You can also use other pie fillings. Blueberry pie filling
works well. Apple pie filling works but the apples can be a bit on the heavy
side so cut them up into smaller pieces.
Would I
Make It Again?
I would make this every time we have left over donuts. Here’s
a little trick – you can freeze the chocolate donuts and keep them in the
freezer and pull them out and thaw when you need a quick dessert.
