I have another Deelicious Sweet's recipe to share with you all. This item was really popular with a certain friend (Hi Kim) during the holiday season when I was running Deelicious Sweets. Kim and her hubby had a party a few weeks ago (the same party I brought the Pumpkin Cake to) and she requested I bring my Amaretto Cream Pie. It's her absolute favorite! Seeing as how Kim is so super sweet how could I resist?
Amaretto Cream Pie
Yield: 9-inch pie

Yield: 9-inch pie
Instructions:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 3 T. sugar
- 5 T. butter, melted
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup almond-flavored liqueur - I use Amaretto
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- Garnish: toasted sliced almonds
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a medium bowl, combine cracker crumbs, chopped sliced almonds, and sugar. Stir in melted butter until combined. Press mixture evenly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8 minutes; cool completely.
- In a small bowl, soften gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water; let stand for 2 minutes. Microwave gelatine mixture on high in 30-second intervals until dissolved (approximately 1 minute total); set aside and let cool for 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar. Add liqueur, beating at low speed until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, beat cream at high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Stir in gelatin mixture. Fold cream cheese mixture into cream mixture. Spoon into crust. Cover, and chill 4 hours before serving. Garnish with toasted sliced almonds, if desired.
