This pie was a nice change from the usual apple or pumpkin pie. The cherry and almond flavors were a unique and delicious combination.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie turned out terrible. The crust was burnt and the mousse was curdled.

I was disappointed with this pie. The crust was soggy and the mousse was too runny.

This pie was amazing! The mousse was so light and fluffy, and the cherry filling was the perfect balance of tart and sweet.

The crust was a bit dry, but the mousse was delicious. I would definitely make this pie again, but I would try a different crust recipe.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but overall it was still good. I would probably cut back on the sugar next time.

I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The crust is always flaky and the mousse is always light and fluffy.

This pie was easy to make and turned out great! I used fresh cherries from my backyard, and they really made the pie extra special.

I'm not a huge fan of cherry pie, but this mousse pie was surprisingly good. The almond flavor really complemented the cherries, and the mousse was light and fluffy.
