Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure almond extract
- 1 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 0.25 cups sliced almonds, toasted (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
Pour the melted butter into the mixture and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble 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 in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the almond extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with the mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. This forms the almond mousse.
Spread the almond mousse evenly into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Top the mousse with the cherry pie filling, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle toasted sliced almonds over the top (if using), for added texture and flavor.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the mousse is set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Cherry Almond Mousse Pie!
