This Cherry Chip Poke cake is full of chopped cherries and mini chocolate chips. This delicious cake is then poked with holes and filled with a cherry vanilla pudding mix, topped with whipped cream and plenty of cherries and more chocolate chips. This is always a hit!
This is perfect to serve for a cherry themed birthday or baby shower, summer party, or for a carnival, fairground or circus themed party - we like to call it our 'red nose circus cake'. It would also make the perfect BBQ party dessert with its merry fusion of creamy topping, fruit and cake, an irresistable combination!

3. Cherry pie bites
These Air Fryer Cherry Pie Bites are a quick and delicious way to enjoy the classic flavors of cherry pie in a bite-sized treat. Made with flaky biscuits and sweet cherry filling, they cook up golden and crispy in minutes.
You will need only a handful of ingredients - Grands Biscuit dough or similar (to us in UK these are like flaky scones - we may need to make the dough from scratch first) cherry pie filling, powdered sugar and milk. Our recipe serves 16, takes around 15 mins to make and about 10 minutes to bake.
You will need
• 8 Grands biscuits flaky layers, separated in half
• 1 - 1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tsp milk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Small bowl and spoon
• Air fryer
• 8 Grands biscuits flaky layers, separated in half
• 1 - 1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tsp milk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Small bowl and spoon
• Air fryer
Start by separating the biscuits in half, then roll each half out to make it flat.
Add a small spoonful of filling (about 3 cherries with a little of the glaze) into the center of each.
Then pull the edges up and pinch together to somewhat form a ball shape.
Grease the air fryer basket and place the cherry pie bites spaced apart in the basket, seam side up. I was able to make 8 at a time.
Air fry at 350 for 5 minutes, then flip the cherry pie bites over and air fry for another 5 minutes. Then remove the cherry pie bites from the air fryer and allow to cool slightly.
Mix the powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze.
It's ready when it has a smooth consistency.
Then use a spoon to drizzle over the cherry pie bites.
You could alternatively use some pink cherry glace icing to top or cover them, like mini cream puffs or profiteroles. These make perfect afternoon tea party bites!
