Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon pure almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 21 ounces cherry pie filling (canned or homemade)
- 0.25 cup slivered almonds, toasted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
While the crust is cooling, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, almond extract, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined and fluffy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled and set.
Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted slivered almonds on top for a crunchy garnish.
Slice and enjoy your Cherry Almond Creamy Cheese Pie!
