How to Make Almond Crusted Cherry Cream Pie
- Prepare pie crust (using recipe #51537 or a store-bought crust). If making your own, add 1/2 cup chopped almonds to the dry ingredients before adding water.
- Gently prick only the sides of the pie crust with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake according to crust recipe instructions.
- Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
- Gently fold in 2 cups whipped cream. Pour the mixture into the cooled pie crust.
- Spread 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling evenly over the cream filling.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the pie to set completely.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
