This cherry pie recipe is sweet, tart and bursting with juicy cherries, all tucked inside our flaky, buttery homemade pie crust. Made with fresh or frozen cherries and a hint of almond and lemon, it gives you that classic homemade cherry pie flavor any time of year—no canned pie filling needed.

I’ve said it before, but I am a pie girl through and through. Give me a slice of pie over almost any other dessert (except strawberry shortcake…my true love!). That flaky golden crust, juicy fruit filling and contrast between buttery, crisp pastry and gooey cherries? Dream. Come. True.

And while cherry pie may seem like a summer dessert, frozen cherries make this one perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas too. You can even make the whole pie ahead of time and freeze it, which is exactly the kind of dessert I want when every inch of my kitchen is already spoken for.

I had wondered about making a chocolate pumpkin bread for years, but I was always worried the cocoa powder would make it dry. So I finally started testing recipes last spring, and you guys, this is one of the best chocolate loaf recipes I’ve ever had.

Why You’ll Love This Chocolate Pumpkin Bread

  • Incredibly moist: Pumpkin puree and oil keep this loaf soft and tender for days.
  • Serious chocolate flavor: Cocoa powder, chocolate chips and chocolate ganache make this one for the chocolate lovers.

  • Dessert-worthy: That glossy ganache takes simple pumpkin bread straight into chocolate cake territory.
  • Even better the next day: The loaf stays moist and the chocolate and pumpkin flavors get even better as it sits.
