Black Bottom Cherry Dessert

2/3 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1 egg

1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 3/4 cups Original Bisquick®

2/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling

1/4 cup white baking chocolate

2 teaspoons shortening

1. Heat oven to 400°. Mix powdered sugar, almond extract, 

egg and cream cheese in medium bowl. Stir in Bisquick. Roll 

or pat dough into 12-inch circle on ungreased cookie sheet. 

Flute edge if desired. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until crust 

is light golden brown. 

2. Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot crust. Bake about 1 minute 

or until chips are melted; spread evenly. Cool 5 minutes. Gently 

loosen and transfer to serving plate. 

3. Spread pie filling over chocolate. Heat white baking chips and 

shortening over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth; drizzle 

over pie filling. 

BETTY'S TIP: You'll find that using a fork makes it easy to 

drizzle the melted white baking chips over the cherry pie filling.
