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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, almond extract, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined and fluffy.

Step 7

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled and set.

Step 10

Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted slivered almonds on top for a crunchy garnish.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy your Cherry Almond Creamy Cheese Pie!
