Cherry Cheese Pie

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 by Christy {The Girl Who Ate Everything}

This pie screams TRADITION. Imagine Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof shimmying and singing “Tradition”. That kind of tradition. From as long as I can remember my family has made this pie for Thanksgiving. Most times we bypass the plates. Us Larson girls just grab a fork and minutes later…GONE. It’s not gourmet. I don’t even like cherries so I scrape them off. Oh, but it’s so delicious. It takes me right back to my mom’s kitchen.

Cherry Cheese Pie

Ingredients

  • 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
  • 1 (6 oz) ready made graham cracker crumb pie crust or homemade graham cracker crust
  • 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. In large mixing bowl , beat cream cheese until fluffy. If your cream cheese isn't soft enough you will get lumps. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Mix in lemon juice and vanilla.
  2. Pour into graham cracker crust and chill at least 3 hours. Pour on cherries and chill before serving.

    A friend of mine just introduced me to your blog and I recognized this pie right away! Tradition is right. My mom always made this for my dad on his birthday and now I make this for my coworkers on their birthdays. Everyone loves this and it’s so easy!

    Love this! Do you think it would be okay to make a day prior?

    This is my husband’s favorite childhood dessert that his mom who passed away a few years ago made. I have the recipe scribbled down from memory on a scrap piece of paper but have always questioned if it was correct. I’m glad to have the recipe now. Thank you for posting this!

    WOW! Just came across this on Pinterest. I was shocked to see that it was the exact same recipe as my Grandma’s. I’m with the other girls … thought this was an old family recipe.
