Taste tempting flavors of hot fudge sauce and whipped cream pair up with tart cherries for a great tasting tart cherry dessert any time of the year that is guaranteed to melt hearts. • 1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened • 1 cup confectioners' sugar • 1 teaspoon almond extract • 1/2 cup whipping cream • 2/3 cup hot fudge ice cream topping • 1 teaspoon tart cherry juice concentrate • 1 (21-ounce) can tart cherry filling and topping Allow both crust pouches to stand at room temperature 15 to 20 minutes. Remove one crust from pouch; unfold. Press out fold lines. If crust cracks, wet fingers and push edges together. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon flour over crust. Turn crust, floured side down, on ungreased cookie sheet. Using paper pattern as guide, cut crust into heart shape.* Generously prick heart crust with fork. Bake in a preheated 450-degree oven 9 to 11 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool. Repeat with the remaining crust. Combine cream cheese, tart cherry juice concentrate, confectioners' sugar and almond extract in a small bowl; beat until smooth. Add whipping cream and beat until thickened. To assemble, place one heart-shaped pie crust on serving plate; spread with 1/3 cup of the hot fudge. Carefully spread half of cream cheese mixture over hot fudge. Spoon 2/3 of the cherry filling over cream cheese. Spread second crust with remaining hot fudge and place over filling. Carefully spread with remaining cream cheese mixture. Spoon remaining cherry filling about 1 inch from edge. Refrigerate until serving time. Store any remaining torte in refrigerator. Makes 8 to 10 servings. * To make pattern, cut a piece of paper into a heart shape about 10 1/2 inches high and 10 inches wide.
