Dessert with cherry pie filling and sweetened condensed milk

Enjoy this rich creamy Cherry Cream Cheese Pie for any holiday or special occasion.  You can use cherries or blueberries or your favorite fruit and enjoy the flavorful filling that will keep friends and family coming back for more.

Grandmama used to make this for any holiday and she’d send an entire pie to our house! Fortunately, my brother, bless his heart, didn’t eat things like this, which meant I got to eat his share. My sister pretty much came out of the womb counting calories so I’m pretty sure I ate her share as well.

Opening the refrigerator and finding Cherry Cream Cheese pie looking back at you sure was a beautiful sight!

Let me show you how easy this pie is to make! 

Recipe Ingredients:

• Cream cheese (visit this post to learn how easy it is to make cream cheese at home).
• Lemon juice
• Sweetened condensed milk
• Vanilla
• Graham cracker crust.
• One can of your favorite pie filling. I’m using cherry because that is what Grandmama always used.

How to Make Cherry Cream Cheese Pie Step by Step Instructions

• Place your softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl and add your sweetened condensed milk.

• Add in your lemon juice and vanilla.

• Mix that up until creamy and smooth.

• Spread into pie crust.

Like so.

• Cover that and put it in the refrigerator for several hours.
• I also refrigerate my pie filling at this time as well, just stick the whole unopened can in there. 

• After several hours, top with your favorite pie filling.

Oh my. Look how pretty that pie is!

• Return this to the refrigerator to firm up some more until ready to serve.

• 8 ounce pkg cream cheese softened
• 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla use the cheap stuff like me if you want, no shame in that!
• store bought graham cracker crust
• 1 Can of pie filling of your choice I love cherry or blueberry

• Make sure cream cheese is softened at room temperature to prevent pie from being lumpy. In mixing bowl, place cream cheese, condensed milk, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix until creamy and smooth. Spread into pie crust and cover. Refrigerate several hours. Top with pie filling and return to refrigerator until completely chilled. Serve cold.

• Note: This is a soft pie. It won't get firm so keep it in the refrigerator and serve cold. Some readers have also mentioned that you can also double the cream cheese to keep it from being runny.
