How to Make North Pole Cherry Pie
- Crush 1 ½ cups pretzels into fine crumbs. Combine with ¼ cup melted butter; mix well. Press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
- Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Let 2 pints of cherry ice cream soften slightly at room temperature. Spoon into the chilled pretzel crust. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely firm.
- About 20 minutes before serving, gently combine 1 (15 ounce) can cherry pie filling with ½ teaspoon almond extract. Spread evenly over the frozen pie.
- Return the pie to the freezer for 15 minutes to allow the topping to set slightly.
- Remove the pie from the freezer 5 minutes before serving. Let it sit at room temperature to soften slightly, making it easier to cut into wedges.
- Alternative: Refrigerate the cherry pie filling for 30 minutes while the pie freezes to achieve a slightly cooler topping consistency.
