I made this back in the summer, and my family enjoyed it. I made it again in January for my hubby’s birthday–Black Forest cake is his favorite.

This is very rich, and when Rebecca says to serve in thin wedges, she’s not kidding.

I’m not a fan of fruit with chocolate, so I usually scrape the cherries off my plate and enjoy a mouthful of rich chocolate. Hubby loves the cherry pie filling on top, though.

made this last night! My husband had a huge slice, and I warned him: it is rich! He didn’t care, and he was able to eat his whole slice!!! I made some changes to the recipe:
I bought a premade chocolate pie crust (oreo brand) so I could work less. I drained a lot of the goo from the canned pie filling as well. I prefer homemade pie filling, and I just know there is an unnatural amount of goo in those cans. It was great! Will make again.

Uh oh-I posted a recipe for black forest ice box cake too! You must be my twin sister with the same brain. We’ve both got cherries and chocolate on the brain. Your version looks delicious!

I made the whipped ganache from this recipe and spread it on top of Ree’s baked fudge instead. I made it with 4 oz of bittersweet chocolate and 1/2 C cream, but otherwise followed the instructions completely. It’s marvelous! I didn’t try the entire recipe here (topping and all), so I am not writing a review, otherwise I would have given this 5-stars!

It sounds really easy and delicious, but five minutes of prep time? This is something I think I have to plan WAY ahead to make. I plan to give it a try though!

ancientcook- First, I love your name. Second, chocolate butter is really not such a bad thing Third, the sugar coma is at least buffered by the presence of fruit and chocolate which we all know are health foods. I hope you enjoy it!

I love cherries. I love chocolate. This is beautifully presented. I have made butter unintentionally before, but I want some so I will have to try. I know it won’t last but a short time and there is only one person eating here. Sugar coma here I come.
