Today we are celebrating my amazing husband's birthday (his birthday is actually on Monday, but the family is coming together today to celebrate!) One of his long-time favorite desserts is Cherry Cream Cheese Pie, which I made for us to enjoy today, so I thought I'd share the simple recipe with you which you may top with any berry you like - cherry, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry - whatever you like. Yes, I know, the berry pie we typically think of is a baked, traditional pie, but in case you have a craving for a berry pie, but are looking for something just a bit less traditional, check this recipe . . .
Ingredients -- Graham cracker pie crust
- One carton whipping cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 box cream cheese or one 8oz tub of whipped cream cheese
- One can of berry pie filling of your choice - I always use the "lite" low-sugar type.
Directions -
- Beat cream cheese until fluffy
- Beat whipping cream and sugar with electric mixer until fluffy
- Combine cheese and whipping cream
- Spread in pie crust
- Top with berries
- Refrigerate until ready to eat - at least a couple hours
- Enjoy!
This recipe is quick, easy and oh, so tasty! Plus, it is a great recipe for your grandchildren to make with you! Since it only uses 1/2 box of cream cheese, have them make an extra pie which you then take to a shut-in or teacher or pastor or neighbor to brighten their day!
Enjoy!
