A frozen dessert combining the sweetness of cherries with the saltiness of pretzels. In Step 3, I freeze overnight. Cooking time is really chilling time. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups coarsely crushed pretzel sticks (about 5 oz) |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
2 pints vanilla ice cream |
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
Directions:
1. Combine pretzel crumbs with butter, mix well, and pat into bottom and sides of a 9” pie plate.
2. Chill about 1 hour.
3. Soften ice cream slightly, spoon into shell and freeze until firm (at least 1 hour).
4. About 20 minutes before serving, combine cherry filling and almond extract, spread over pie and return to the freezer 15 minutes.
5. Remove pie; let sit at room temp about 5 minutes until just soft enough to cut into wedges.
6. Alternative: Refrigerate cherry pie filling while pie freezes; mix w/ almond extract and spread on pie 5 minutes before serving.
