    Valentine Cherry Cheese Cake
    (Serves 6)

    Crust:
  • 17 Biscoff Cookies, finely ground
  • 3 Tbsp Butter, melted

    Combine ingredients in 8-9" pie pan (lightly coated with butter to help crumbs stick).    Push crumbs up the sides of the pie pan.    Push a second pie tin down on the first to evenly tamper down the crumbs.    A heart-shaped pan adds to the presentation.    Since you probably don't have two, tamper down with the back of a spoon.

    Filling:

  • 12 Oz. Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 1 Cup Confectionery Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Almond Extract
  • 1 Can Cherry Pie Filling
  • 1/2 Cup Almonds Slices

    Mix the cream cheese and the sugar together and pour into the Biscoff cookie crust.    Pour the almonds into a circle that is within 1 inch of the crust in the center of the pie.    Stir in extract into the cherry pie filling and then pour on top of the almonds.    Chill at least one hour in refrigerator.    This is a very rich dessert and small wedges are acceptable.    It can be topped with whip cream if desired.    Very festive looking.

  • 1 Pint Soft Cinnamon Ice Cream (or Vanilla if Cinnamon is not available)

    Caramel Sundae Sauce

    Crush Biscoff cookies between 2 layers of waxed paper until they are crumbs.   (I crush cookies using a coffee cup instead of a rolling pin).   Pour cookie crumbs into mixing bowl.   Add granulated sugar, cinnamon and butter.   Mix together with fork (or spoon)

    Press mixture into a 9" pie plate, saving a wee bit to garnish the top of the pie.   Spoon Ice Cream into crust and sprinkle top with cookie crust garnish.   Cover pie with aluminum foil and place pie in freezer.   Keep in freezer about 4 hours prior to serving.

    To serve:
    Cut pie in slices and top with warm caramel topping!   Make sure to return leftover (if there is any) pie to freezer.    It's delicious the rest of the week.
