ALMOND CRUSTED CHERRY CREAM PIE



Almond Crusted Cherry Cream Pie image

This is my dad's favorite pie. It's pretty easy to prepare. If you don't feel like mixing a pie crust/making your own you can buy a store bought one and just press the almonds into the crust. It is extremely rich and yummy! I don't even like cherries and I love this pie! Cook time is chill time. For the crust I usually use Recipe #51537 and just grind the almonds up and mix them in with the dry ingredients... This has seemed to work really well for me

CHERRY CREAM PIE



Cherry Cream Pie image

This is more of a cherry custard pie than a cherry cream pie, but it's quite delicious. We loved the creamy vanilla custard with the cherry topping. Adding almond extract and a little sugar brightens up the cherry topping making it taste fresher. The custard layer is so delicious, you can try it with different toppings too...
