 soft peaks form.

 To assemble, place 1 cake layer on a serving plate;
 spread with 1/3 cup chocolate filling and 1 cup whipped
 cream. Repeat layers twice. Top with the remaining cake
 and chocolate filling.

 Spread remaining whipped cream over sides of cake. Press
 almonds onto sides. Spoon pie filling over top of cake.
 Refrigerate until serving.
