Ingredients
For the Pie Crust:

- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter.
2. To make the pie crust, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the cold water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a disc. Roll out the dough to fit the pie plate. Place in the prepared pie plate and trim the edges. Crimp or flute the edges as desired.
3. To make the filling, combine the cherries, chocolate chips, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
4. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool completely before adding the topping.
5. To make the topping, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler over medium heat. Spread the melted chocolate over the top of the cooled pie. Let cool until the chocolate is set before serving.
