How to Make Holiday Cherry Pie
- Chop 4 cups frozen cherries (keeping them frozen until step 6).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 1 (14 ounce) can homemade sweetened condensed milk (or store-bought), mixing until fully incorporated.
- Add 4 cups chopped frozen cherries, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in 1 (8 ounce) container sugar-free Cool Whip.
- Pour the cherry mixture evenly into two 9-inch pie crusts (homemade or store-bought).
- Freeze for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely.
- Once frozen, let the pies sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before slicing to make serving easier.
- Cut into serving-size pieces.
- Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cherries, as desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Pie slices thaw quickly.
