Step by Step Method
Step 1
Split the ladyfingers, then stand the halves around the edges of the 9-inch springform pan (placing the rounded sides of ladyfingers against the pan).
Step 2
Line the bottom of the pan with lady fingers split side up. Save the rest. They are used later.
Step 3
Brush with liqueur; set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Step 5
Add sugar and 1/2 teaspoon almond exact, beating well.
Step 6
In a small mixing bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form; fold into cream cheese mixture.
Step 7
Spoon half into the ladyfinger-lined pan.
Step 8
Top with remaining fingers in a layer and top with remaining cream cheese mixture.
Step 9
Top with cherry pie filling now OR, you can wait until right before you serve it. ( I prefer to wait until ready to serve)
Step 10
Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Step 11
Optional: For added flavor, pour cherry pie filling into a bowl ahead of time, and stir with 1/4 tsp almond extract. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours prior to using in the recipe.
