CHERRY ALMOND MOUSSE PIE This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Gold Estate in Wylie, Texas in 1982.

Ingredients:

14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk divided

1 square unsweetened chocolate

1/2 teaspoon almond extract divided

9” pastry shell baked

10 ounce jar maraschino cherries drained

8 ounce package cream cheese softened

1 cup cold water

1 small package instant vanilla pudding

1 cup whipping cream whipped

1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds

chocolate curls optional

Directions:

1. In saucepan over low heat cook and stir chocolate and 1/2 cup condensed milk 5 minutes.
2. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon almond extract then pour into pastry shell and set aside.
3. Reserve eight whole cherries for garnish then chop remaining cherries and set aside.
4. In a mixing bowl beat cream cheese until light.
5. Gradually beat in water and remaining sweetened milk.
6. Add pudding mix and remaining extract then mix well and fold in whipped cream.
7. Stir in chopped cherries and almonds then pour over pie and chill at least 4 hours.
8. Garnish with whole cherries and chocolate curls if desired.
