Easy as Pie : Who doesn't like Easy No-Bake Cherry Cheese Ice Box Pie

[gwpercle]

Comfort food , easy to make ... in fact it's easier to make than a fruit pie !
One of my wife's old desserts , when the kids were little and I was bringing home a whooping $75.00 per week , she would whip one up to satisfy my sweet-tooth and it cost hardly anything to make . A Favorite cool Summer Time dessert I still crave .

No-Bake Cherry Cheese Pie

Ingredients:
1 pkg. Cream Cheese , softened
1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk - regular
1/3 cup Fresh Lemon Juice ( I have a lemon tree in the back yard)
1 teasp. Vanilla Extract ( almond extract can also be used)
1- 9 inch prepared graham cracker crust (it doesn't taste right if it's not grahm cracker crust)
1 can - Cherry Pie Filling , chilled

Directions:
1.) Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy . Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until well combined . Add Lemon Juice and Vanilla and mix well .

2.) Pour mixture into pie crust . Chill 3 hours or until pie is set .

3.) Top with Cherry Pie filling before serving , garnish with toasted almonds if you like .

It's not a fancy desert , but it taste good and doesn't require baking on a hot day !

I'm crazy about cheese cake.
I've accumulated various recipes, the baked ones are a favorite, but I've also gotten pretty
good at fixing those Jello brand, no bake kits from the grocery store.

My only problem with them, is that they only make two servings per box.

cheese cake was one of Gods greatest gifts to mankind!! Especially cherry or turtle cheese cake.

Similar to the version I make, swap the condensed milk with Cool Whip. I always requested this for my birthday with blueberry pie filling on top. Since we were usually at the lake on that day it was easy for mom to make, didn't need baking and heating up the camper.

Be sure and put your blueberry pie recipe in the cook book . This is what I would call a blueberry cream pie ...all light and fluffy... I like blueberry too , sounds good !

I know what you mean !
I was digging around in the pantry and found a can of Lucky Leaf Cherry Pie Filling !
The wife and daughter have gone off and left me and the 2 cats unsupervised for a few days ...
I could whip up a Cherry Cheese Pie and probably eat it all before they get back !!!
As long as they don't read this ... they would never know !
