Cherry Cheese Pie

Growing up my Grandmother would always make us Cherry Cheese Pie and it has always been one of my favorite desserts! This is incredibly easy and absolutely delicious!

Ingredients:

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1- 9'' graham cracker crust
  • 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
*I typically use all off brand ingredients except for the cream cheese. Philadelphia cream cheese is the best for this recipe and blends better. 

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy (make sure there are no small chunks), gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla. 
  2. Pour into the pie crust and chill for 4 hours or until set
  3. Top with pie filing
  4. Store in refrigerator
To speed up the setting process I often put the pie in the freezer for an hour and then transfer to the fridge to finish setting.
