Number Of Ingredients 16

14 - oreo cookies
3/4 cup(s) chopped macadamia nuts
2 tablespoon(s) butter, melted
FOR THE FILLING
1 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
2 tablespoon(s) water
1 can(s) (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
1/2 teaspoon(s) almond extract
FOR THE WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
1 - envelope unflavored gelatin
3 cup(s) heavy whipping cream, divided
1/4 cup(s) sugar
1/4 teaspoon(s) almond extract
1 cup(s) cold 2% milk
1 package(s) (3.3 ounces) instant white chocolate pudding mix
- chocolate syrup and curls, optional

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine cookies and nuts; cover and process until cookies are finely chopped. Add butter; cover and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack.
  • For filling, combine cornstarch and water in a small saucepan until smooth. Stir in pie filling. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in extract. Cool completely. For mousse, in a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cream; let stand for 1 minute. Heat over low heat, stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, beat remaining cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and extract; beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in gelatin mixture. In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes (mixture will be thick). Fold whipped cream mixture into pudding. Refrigerate until slightly firm, about 30 minutes. Spread cooled filling into crust; top with mousse. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. Garnish with chocolate syrup and curls if desired.
