Cherry Cheese Pie
Description
This pie combines softened cream cheese beaten until fluffy with sweetened condensed milk to create a smooth base. Fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract are incorporated to add brightness and enhance flavor. The filling is poured into a ready-made Graham cracker crust and refrigerated for at least three hours so the pie sets properly.
Before serving, cherry pie filling is spooned over the top to provide a fruity contrast and decorative finish. The combination of smooth, tangy filling and sweet cherry topping offers a pleasing texture and flavor balance in the dessert.
The cream cheese should be softened well to avoid lumps, and the filling must be mixed thoroughly so it firms up as it chills. This dessert is best served chilled and does not require baking.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz package) cream cheese softened
- 1 (14 oz can) sweetened condensed milk Eagle Brand
- 1/3 /3 cup lemon juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (9 ounce) Graham Cracker Crust
- 1 (21 oz can) cherry pie filling
Instructions
- In large mixing bowl , beat cream cheese until fluffy. If your cream cheese isn't soft enough you will get lumps. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Mix in lemon juice and vanilla until WELL combined. This is important so that it is combined enough and will firm up.
- Pour into graham cracker crust and chill at least 3 hours. Pour on cherries (you might not need all of them) and chill before serving.
Notes
- Use well-softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling without lumps.
- Chill the pie for at least 3 hours to allow the filling to firm up before adding the cherry topping.
- Adjust the amount of cherry pie filling to your preference; some may prefer less topping.
