Since I was a little girl and first had a Shirley Temple, I have adored maraschino cherries. With their bright red color and ultra-sweet, syrupy flavor, what’s not to like?

This is one of my favorite, favorite pie recipes that I have made numerous times over the years since I found it in a Taste of Home Magazine.

The pie starts with a buttery pie crust. For the sake of simplicity, this recipe calls for a frozen pie shell. You’ll bake it according to package directions and then let it cool.

You’ll then melt some semi-sweet chocolate chips with a little sweetened condensed milk and spread the mixture in the bottom of the pie crust. Everything is better with a little chocolate. 🙂

Next comes the filling. It’s maybe the most delicious filling I’ve ever tasted. The filling is a delightful mixture of chopped maraschino cherries, vanilla pudding mix, cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, almond extract, whipped cream, and water. It may seem strange to add water, but the filling is already plenty rich.

Finish the pie off with grated chocolate and cherries. You could also add some toasted almond slices.

Recipe Notes For Making Cherry Almond Mousse Pie

  • Before making the filling, you’ll need to whip 1 cup of heavy cream.
  • If you don’t want to make the fresh whipped cream, you can use 2 cups of Cool Whip.
