Instructions: Beat the whipping cream and sugar in a chilled mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.

Reserve 1/4 cup of the vanilla wafer crumbs.

Fold the remaining crumbs into the whipped cream. Add the toasted almonds, Maraschino cherries, rum or sherry, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Fold gently to blend. Divide the mixture among 12 small dessert dishes or paper-lined medium-sized muffin tins. Sprinkle the top of the whipped dessert with the remaining vanilla wafer crumbs. Freeze uncovered until firm, usually about 4 hours. Serve cold from the freezer.
