Ingredients

  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen puff pastry shells
  • 2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
  • Additional confectioners' sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Bake pastry shells according to package directions. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and extract. With a fork, carefully remove the circular top of each baked shell and set aside. Remove any soft layers of pastry inside shells and discard.

Spoon the cream cheese filling into shells; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 5 minutes. Cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate until serving.

Just before serving, spoon pie filling into shells. Top with reserved pastry circles. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate leftovers.
