Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack.

Evenly spread the cherry pie filling over the cooled crust.

Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package instructions. Allow it to cool slightly, then pour it over the cherry layer.

In a mixing bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then spread it over the chocolate layer.

Sprinkle chocolate chips over the whipped cream and optionally add fresh cherries for decoration.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
