Crazy for Coco Cherry Pie with a Bailey’s Chocolate-Coffee Drizzle Topping

Crazy for Coco Cherry Pie with a Bailey's Chocolate-Coffee Drizzle Sauce

I’m usually a traditionalist when it comes to pies.  I like them simple with very little embellishments.  But I decided to mess with tradition by adding some coco, coffee, and Bailey’s into the filling and topping the pie off with a Bailey’s Chocolate-Coffee Drizzle Topping.

Coco, Coffee, and Bailey's are the not so secret special ingredients for this pie.

Coco, Coffee, and Bailey’s are the not so secret special ingredients for this pie.

I ended up loving the results and the pie disappeared way too fast.  But before moving on to the instructions, I have a couple of disclaimers to add.

First, while I am providing SCD legal alternatives, I have gone back to eating small amounts of food with grains, gluten, and lactose.  With moderation, these three do not give me any problems.  My general health and energy levels seem a lot higher during this post ulcerative colitis flare than last time.  While there could be many factors (my running every morning, the iron infusions, the medication combination), I’m sticking with what works.

Of course this means that I got to treat myself (and my family) to the old pie crusts I used to make with regular flour.  While almond flour crusts are very good, without the gluten you can’t really get a strong but flaky crust that is able to be easily manipulated into different shapes.

With that being said, let’s move on to how to make this Crazy for Coco Cherry Pie with a Bailey’s Chocolate-Coffee Drizzle Topping.

Filling

freshly washed cherries from the farmers market.

Freshly washed cherries from the farmers market. Yum!!

De-seed 6 to 8 cups cherries.  I say 6 to 8 because I used 6.5 cups for this recipe.  Ideally, I would have liked 8 cups though.  I used an 8-inch pie tin which resulted in the filling being very thin, almost more like a tart.  The only thing I would change next time around would be either using a smaller pie tin or using more cherries.

Anyway, to de-seed the cherries, I place one in the lip of a Coke or beer bottle and stick a chop-stick in the cherry.  This pushes the seed out, leaving you with an intact cherry.

Use a chopstick and a beer bottle as a cheap and easy way to remove the cherry pits.

Place 3/4 cups honey, 2 tablespoons strongly brewed coffee, and 1 teaspoon coco powder in a large saucepan and whisk together on low heat until smooth. Add the cherries.  Turn up heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.

Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low-medium and let it simmer until it is thick.

Turn down the heat to low-medium and simmer for 30 minutes to an hour, or until the filling is thick.  Near the end add 1/4 cup Bailey’s with a Hint of Creme Caramel (it’s the Bailey’s I had in the adult beverage cabinet) and simmer for another 10 minutes.  Take off the heat and let the filling cool.

If you have enough patience, let the cherries set overnight for the flavors to really sink in.

Filling Modifications

If you are interested in making this strictly SCD, then you can leave out the coco, Bailey’s, and coffee and opt for a more traditional flavor profile.  Keep the same amount of honey and add 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice.  Follow the same steps and you will have a delicious traditional cherry pie.

Also it is cherry season right now so I opted for farm fresh cherries.  However, I have made cherry pies with frozen sweet dark cherries before and the pies have come out very good as well.  If you don’t want to spend time de-seeding cherries, feel free to use frozen de-seeded cherries, no one will judge (especially if you’re making them pie).

Crust

Sift two cups of flour into a large bowl.

Using two forks, cut the butter into the flour until the consistency is very fine, like corn meal.

Add a tablespoon of vinegar and toss to combine (yet another tactic to make the crust extra flaky).  Add, a tablespoon at a time, ice cold water, tossing and cutting it into the dough each time. How many tablespoons you need will depend on the weather, but keep adding until the dough sticks together but isn’t soggy.

Separate the dough into two balls and wrap in plastic wrap. Put them in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Again, if you want a strict SCD legal pie, you will find a SCD legal pie crust recipe alongside this one.  If you would like more step-by-step instructions (with pictures) then take a look at my Apple Pie post.

Pie Assembly 

Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.  Take out one of the balls of dough and roll it out into a circle on a lightly floured surface. Make sure it is slightly larger than an 8-inch pie tin.

Carefully place the rolled out crust into the pie tin. Put in the oven for 10 minutes.  Make sure you poke some holes in it with a fork.

I always forget to do this and then panic when I open the oven door and see an expanding ballon of pie crust.  I then have to stab it dramatically to prevent it from exploding.  Take it out, let it cool and then put in the cherry filling.

Place strips of dough vertically on top of the pie.  Make sure you save half of the longer strips for the horizontal direction.  For the horizontal strips, weave each (over, under, etc.,) with the vertical strips of dough. Repeat until finished.

You can stop here if you want.  I went on and braided some dough to place along the edges to hide jagged and ugly bits.  I did however have to make more dough for this.  Normally I don’t care how good the crust looks because I just care about eating the pie.  But I thought I would dress it up a bit for the camera, make it all beautiful.  Place in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the crust is a pretty golden-brown color and looks crisp.

While in the oven, prepare the Bailey’s Chocolate-Coffee Drizzle Topping.

Bailey’s Chocolate-Coffee Drizzle Topping

Unfortunately, I didn’t take pictures for these instructions.  Chocolate can be kind of mean if you don’t give it a hundred percent of your attention.  But it really is easy-you just have to stir constantly until everything is melted and smooth.

Combine 3/4 cups heavy cream, 2 tablespoons strongly brewed coffee, and 2 tablespoons Bailey’s with a Hint of Creme Caramel in a medium sized saucepan.  Stir over low-medium heat until well combined.

Add 10 oz of bittersweet chocolate (70% cocoa solids) broken into pieces and 6 tablespoons sweet butter (aka unsalted butter).  Stir constantly.  This is important and if you don’t, your sauce can split (like oil and water).  Once the sauce is smooth and glossy, pour into a serving container.

After you have let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes (to let the filling solidify), portion out the slices.

Scoop up some vanilla ice cream if desired (I desired that big time but I really wanted to get the photoshoot over with and eat.  Ice cream is horrible to take pictures of-but trust me-I scooped some up for this pie).  Pour the Bailey’s Chocolate-Coffee Drizzle Topping onto the pie and ice cream and eat eat eat!!!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.  I was very proud of myself for messing with tradition and changing things up a bit and my tastebuds were rewarded!

  • I’ve been inactive for a long time. My Granddad was in the hospital for a while and there was nothing doctors could do. He passed away on March 25th. ⠀ ⠀ Throughout the whole experience, I baked like crazy to distract and comfort myself. ⠀ ⠀ But there was a void where my words usually flow, an emotional blockage. And I began to experience a social media existential crisis. ⠀ ⠀ I couldn’t write or share or blog or be on social media. It felt stupid, like I was betraying my Granddad and the pain he and my family was in.⠀ ⠀ I knew that blockage would stay until I wrote about my Granddad and what he meant to me, how I’m experiencing his loss, and the power and comfort of creativity.⠀ ⠀ So my March 2018 reflections are just that and I’ve put the link in my profile if you’d like to read the whole post. ⠀ ⠀ It took me a while to write because it felt like my final goodbye. I kept stalling because I didn’t want to say goodbye. But I need to remember that he lives on and that with each goodbye, there is a hello. ⠀ ⠀ My Granddad would have rocked Instagram by the way. He was a creative guy, something I am extremely grateful for right now. As a hobbyist woodworker and photographer, his work feels like an extension of him.⠀ ⠀ Just as creativity helped me through the knowledge that he was going to die, his creativity comforts me now that he’s gone. ⠀ ⠀ He’s all around me. He’s in the shelves that hold my photography props, the wooden rack where our ceramic mugs hang, cleverly crafted Christmas reindeer and ornaments, and precious toddler sized rocking chairs.⠀ ⠀ When I see his work, it feels like a big warm hello and hug.⠀ ⠀ #loss #grief #reflections #quotestoliveby #monthlyreflections
  • I promised I'd share the recipe for this in my stories, so here you go. This Mint Mojito Irish Coffee combines two San Francisco classics, a Philz Coffee Mint Mojito and a Buena Vista Irish Coffee—into one fabulous drink. I'm treating myself to one tonight and maybe a couple tomorrow for St. Patrick's Day 🍀 What are you drinking tonight and tomorrow? Ingredients heavy cream, to top 7 to 10 drops of peppermint extract (optional) 2 teaspoons turbinado sugar 10 mint leaves 2.5 ounces very hot brewed coffee 1.5-ounces whiskey Instructions Put the heavy cream into a glass or stainless steel bowl, add the peppermint extract, and whip it using a handheld mixer with the whisk attachment until it has thickened but is still pourable. If you happen to whip it too much (me!), just stir in some fresh cream until it’s pourable again. Set aside. Zap your glass in the microwave until it’s hot to the touch. This helps keep your drink warm because both the whiskey and cream are cold. Place the sugar in the glass. Toss the mint leaves in and muddle the mint into the sugar until the aromas have released and the leaves look bruised and wet. Pour the hot coffee in and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the whiskey and stir. Slowly pour the whipped heavy cream over the back of a spoon, holding it so it's right above the coffee. The goal is to float the cream on top of the coffee. Serve.
  • How many of you could use one good day, where you catch up on everything and get a little ahead in life🙋‍♀️?⠀ ⠀ 6 days have gone by again since the last post 😩. I meant to follow up on my Instagram stories where I told everyone about my Monthy Health Reflections I've been doing on my blog. ⠀ ⠀ Thank you so much to everyone who responded to them so warmly. It really gave me all the feels ❤️⠀ ⠀ I had debated whether or not to share them at all on Instagram but here I am, sharing February's 2018 Reflections mid-March.⠀ ⠀ February was a hard month for me. It’s so short and all those shiny new 2018 goals suddenly seem unreachable. And those feelings are trying their best to sneak into March. Work, a stomach bug this weekend, a loud barking dog keeping me up at night, daylight savings time....it's all made it even harder to play catch-up. ⠀ ⠀ So it seems appropriate to reflect once again on what I wrote in February. I spent a lot of time last month thinking about physical and emotional barriers, feeling depression and anger over the Florida shootings, and realizing that scars and wrinkles are everything that you should want in a life well lived. ⠀ ⠀ At a 30th birthday party, someone asked what I felt when I turned the big 3-0. And I was a little surprised at my answer. ⠀ ⠀ I responded without thinking: “I felt grateful”. ⠀ ⠀ I was grateful to be alive, to be out of the hospital, to be able to spend the day in San Francisco walking my feet off and getting completely roasted at a piano bar. Because honestly, there were a couple of precarious moments in 2016 where I questioned whether I was going to be able to make it to my 30th birthday.⠀ ⠀ I'm glad I remembered that feeling of gratitude. Because getting old is a privilege. ⠀ ⠀ Flip through the images to read my thoughts on the privilege of scars and wrinkles or search "2018 February reflections meg is well" to read the full post on my blog. I've also left the link in my profile @megiswell. ⠀
  • And FINALLY (sorry for the delay), the spring rolls. Have you ever tried brown rice spring roll wrappers? I actually really like them. Especially when they're stuffed with Stir-Fried Mushrooms, cucumber sticks, dandelion greens, and cilantro.⠀ ⠀ The dipping sauce is a typical Vietnamese mix of fish sauce, coconut sugar, vinegar, crushed garlic, and Thai red chilies. The recipe link is in my profile @megiswell if you want to put some spring in your step 😉⠀ ⠀ In other news, I also finally got my February Health Update published on my blog. Check out my stories to see what that's all about and help me decide how to best share that content here ❤️⠀ ⠀ #thatspringfeeling #springrolls #easymeals #vietnamesespringrolls #mushroomlove #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #foodblogfeed @foodblogfeed #heresmyfood @food #thekitchn #cookCL #f52grams #eattheworld #huffposttaste #foodwinewomen #lifeandthyme #beautifulcuisines #hautecuisines #wprecipemaker #foodstyling #foodphotography #bhgfood #saveurmag #marthafood #mycommontable #onmytable #bareaders #theartofslowliving #realsimple #mywilliamssonoma #megiswell ⠀
  • The spring rolls have been on the blog since last Tuesday 🙄🙈 (the recipe link is in my profile @megiswell). But I had to do a prep photo today because I'm still loving moody mushrooms and baking sheets. ⠀ ⠀ These Stir-Fried Mushrooms with Garlic and Ginger are in the spring rolls AND on top of the congee a couple of posts ago. Because I love them and they're fast.⠀ ⠀ I know I've been really sporadic lately on Instagram. I'm trying to get the hang of posting at different times than I'm used to. ⠀ ⠀ But are any of you social butterflies at certain times of the day and solitary hermits at others? Can you guess which one I am?⠀ ⠀ #mushroomlove #springrolls #stirfry #quickmeal ⠀ #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #foodblogfeed @foodblogfeed #heresmyfood @food #thekitchn #f52grams #eattheworld #mywilliamssonoma #cookit #foodwinewomen #lifeandthyme #beautifulcuisines #hautecuisines #wprecipemaker #foodphotography #saveurmag #marthafood #mycommontable #onmytable #tastemade #instafeast #bareaders #vscofood #vscocook #theartofslowliving #realsimple #megiswell

  • I got this Brown Rice Mushroom Congee with Sardines published on the blog Friday. I've included both slow cooker and stovetop instructions. So if you want to wake up to this in the morning for breakfast or start it before you go to work, you can.⠀ ⠀ Instead of using water, I made a quick and easy 5-minute dashi broth with dried kombu and bonito flakes. It really ups the smokey fish flavor. ⠀ ⠀ Toppings included are some 10 minute Stir-Fried Mushrooms with Garlic and Ginger, a ramen egg, fried shallots, and some sliced green onions.
