- Press crust FIRMLY into the mold in an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes, then cool 10 minutes before refrigerating one hour.
- In the meantime, add cream cheese and honey to a small saucepan and bring to low heat. Use a wooden spoon to break up cream cheese, then whisk constantly until mixture is creamy. Remove from heat and stir in almond extract. Set aside to cool.
- Gently remove crust from mold and place on serving dish. Spread with cream cheese mixture, then cover entire surface with raspberries. Sprinkle almonds on top, trying to get them between the raspberries. Drizzle with honey. Slice with a sharp knife and serve! Leftovers will keep in the fridge up to 5 days.
