My Royal Valentine

If you don't feel like a Valentine today, just make yourself this lovely desert it will make you feel Royal.


Cherry Cream Crown

2 pkgs. Lady Fingers
¼ c. brandy or rum or your favourite liqueur
1 pkg. 8oz. cream cheese softened
½ c. sugar
1 pint of whipping cream, whipped
1 tsp. vanilla*
1 can of cherry pie filling (21oz)

Brush Lady Fingers with liqueur of choice. Line the sides and bottom of a 9”springform pan, rounded sides against the pan.

Beat whipping cream and vanilla until stiff, set aside. In another bowl beat cheese and sugar. Gently but thoroughly fold in cheese mixture. Spread a layer of mixture in pan, top with lady fingers repeat with mixture. Refrigerate until firm.
Top with Cherry pie filling before serving. DO NOT freeze.

* I like to use an almond flavoured liqueur so I then use almond extract here. Optional
