Bing Cherry Pie
So far, I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t have something they like a lot… it seems they can never get enough! David loves his Puffed Wheat Squares while me it’s Onion Chip Dip! We do share a few though like chicken wings, watermelon 🍉, guacamole, fig newtons cookies, and Bing cherries 🍒. We can finish a big bowl of these fruits in no time unless I make Canard aux Montmorency, Black Cherry Ice Cream, Cherries Jubilee, use some in my Black Forest Cake, or this featured one… Bing Cherry Pie!
If you like this fruit as much as we do then you’re in for a real treat 😉! This dessert is amazingly delicious! Not too sweet, not too tart, this pie is just perfect and even more so with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream…
We both don’t like the traditional “cherry pie” using those sour cherries. On the other hand, this Bing Cherry Pie is totally an OMG 😍! As you should know by now, I like to intensify flavors and this recipe is no exception! It’s all about the filling…
After prepping the cherries which takes some time ⏰, I combine the fruits with Cherry Brandy. It simply enhances the taste of them. If you don’t want to use Cherry Brandy or Cherry liqueur, substitute my Cherry Simple Syrup…
When all the filling ingredients are combined, I use a slotted spoon and transfer them to a prepared pie shell – here’s my recipe for Foolproof Pie Dough. The liquid that’s left in the bowl, I pour into a small saucepan and simmer on medium for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens. This step will help to bond the filling together instead of having it too runny and thin…
A step that a few friends do but I don’t is to lightly sprinkle some granulated sugar on top of the pie before transferring it to the oven. I know it’s a dessert but I think there’s enough sweetness in this recipe to add any more… Once again, add some if you want.
Dark, decadent and absolutely delicious, this Bing Cherry Pie 🍒🥧 can’t be beat! Served à la mode (topped with ice cream), this is a sweet treat to enjoy this summer…
