Cherry Cream Pie


One more pie recipe.  This is easy, and rich, and scrumptious.  It's been a staple at Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations for years. It is lighter than cheesecake, which, though I enjoy, I can only eat a bite of.  Cherry Cream Pie, on the other hand, I can devour piece by piece.  I know this piece of pie looks a little bit, well, droopy, but that's because we couldn't wait for it to finish setting up before cutting into it!


Cherry Cream Pie
Stir Together until thick:
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup lemon juice
Whip:
1 cup whipping cream
Fold into milk and juice mixture.  Pile into baked pie shell.  
Top with:
1 can cherry pie filling mixed with
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Chill until set and serve with extra whipped cream if wanted.
