    I made this as part my daughters birthday dinner, it really is an impressive looking pie and got lots of comments. A little sweet for my tastes but otherwise enjoyed.

    This a a great dessert! Very easy to make and no baking required! The filling for the pie was too much for our premade pastry crusts but the filling is that nice on its own so I put in it a raemkin dish and ate it on its own yum! Thanks for a great recipe! I drizzled melted chocolate over the top of the pie to make it even prettier and I omitted the almond essence.

    I've been making this since first finding it in the 1997 Taste of Home magazine. It taste fabulous and I always have requests. I love the toasted almonds in it. Just made it for our bible class Christmas party and it was well loved. Thanks for posting as I can't always find my TOH magazines when I need them for a certain recipe. Instead of plain cherries on top, I like to top with cherry cordials. Yum.

    The filling also makes yummy cream puffs - my husband calls them "Cherry Dream Puffs"!- If using for a pie, we use the extra large pre-made graham cracker crust. Enjoy!
