Cherry Cream Cheese Pie
This beautiful dessert combines the creamy richness of cream cheese with the tartness of cherries, all nestled in a flaky crust. Trust me, it’s a slice of heaven!
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 can cherry pie filling (about 21 oz)
- Fresh cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you’re using a raw pie crust, bake it according to the package instructions until golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled pie crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Once the filling is in place, top it with the cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- If you’d like, garnish the top with fresh cherries for an extra touch of elegance.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours to let the flavors meld and the filling set properly. Once set, slice and serve!
Enjoy this delightful Cherry Cream Cheese Pie with your family and friends. It’s not just about the taste; it’s about the joy of sharing a homemade dessert that everyone will love. Happy baking!
