Cherry Almond Mousse Pie
Pastry crust, chocolate sauce, and a creamy almond cherry cheesecake filling make this pie unbeatable!
Ingredients
- 9 " pastry crust baked and cooled
- 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk divided
- ¼ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- ½ tsp almond extract divided
- 10 oz jar maraschino cherries
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 3 oz box instant vanilla pudding
- 1 cup cream whipped
- ½ cup toasted almonds chopped
- Extra whipped cream for garnish if desired
Instructions
- Cook 1/2 cup of the sweetened condensed milk with the chips till thickened. (I heat it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, but you can cook it in a saucepan for 4-5 minutes.) Stir in 1/4 tsp of the almond extract and pour into the pie shell.
- Chop all but 8 of the cherries; set aside. Beat cream cheese till fluffy; slowly add water and remaining milk. Add pudding and 1/4 tsp almond extract and beat till smooth.
- Fold in whipped cream, cherries, and almonds. Pour over chocolate layer. (If you have leftovers, just chill them and eat them another day.)
- Cover the pie and chill till set, about 3 hours. Garnish with the 8 cherries and extra whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Use a deep dish pie crust, or divide the filling in half and make 2 smaller pies.
