This Cherry Cheese Pie is a classic and creamy dessert featuring a tangy lemon-flavored cream cheese filling set in a homemade graham cracker crust and topped with luscious cherry pie filling. Perfect for holidays or any special occasion, this no-bake pie combines sweet and tart flavors with a smooth, velvety texture that pleases every palate.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14 oz) can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Crust

  • 1 (9 oz) graham cracker crust

Topping

  • 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy and smooth to prevent lumps. Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined and silky in texture. Add the fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until the filling is well combined and smooth.
  2. Assemble the Pie: Pour the creamy lemon cheese filling evenly into the graham cracker crust, spreading it out gently to cover the base.
  3. Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the filled crust for at least 3 hours to allow the filling to firm up and set properly.
  4. Add the Cherry Topping: Once chilled, spoon the cherry pie filling over the top of the firmed cream cheese layer. You can use as much or as little cherry topping as you prefer.
  5. Final Chill and Serve: Return the pie to the refrigerator and chill again briefly before serving to ensure the topping is set and the pie is nicely cold.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is very soft before beating to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Gradually adding the sweetened condensed milk helps achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Chilling the pie for at least 3 hours is crucial for proper setting of the filling.
  • You can adjust the amount of cherry topping to your liking or substitute with other fruit fillings.
  • This is a no-bake pie, making it quick and easy to prepare ahead of time.
