This was great for a quick and easy dessert. The recipe for the pie is all over the internet. The cherry sauce recipe came from the can of cherries. At least the picture is mine. :-) Cook time is for the sauce. Ingredients:
1 – 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened |
2-1/2 cups milk |
1 – 5.9 oz. pkg. instant jello chocolate pudding |
1 – 9” pie shell baked and cooled or a graham cracker pie crust |
cherry sauce |
1 – 11 oz. can tart cherries |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 tbs. cornstarch |
1/2 tsp almond extract (optional) |
Directions:
1. Beat cream cheese until soft. Gradually add 1/2 cup milk and blend until smooth. Add remaining milk and pie filling mix. Beat at lowest speed of mixer until blended. Pour at once into pie shell. (Work fast! This gets firm right away!) Chill at least two hours. Top with whipped cream and cherry sauce.
2. For the cherry sauce:
3. Drain the cherry juice from the can into a small saucepan. Add the sugar and the cornstarch and stir until blended. Heat over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Cook and stir two minutes longer. Add cherries and almond extract and stir to blend together. (The sauce turns clear when done.) Cool mixture before serving.
