Chocolate pie with choux pastry
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. The choux pastry pie can be made with milk or water, which is brought to a boil and then combined with dry ingredients and vigorously mixed. Cherries are used in this recipe for extra flavor (a touch of tartness), but they can be omitted. Serve the pie cooled down, either cold or slightly warm.
