Ingredients
- 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)

- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup sugar

- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

Directions
- Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
