Cherry Cheese Pie
This Cherry Cheese Pie dessert is made every year at my house for Thanksgiving. This pie has a creamy lemon kissed filling on a homemade graham cracker crust topped with cherries.
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 (9 ounce) graham cracker crust
- 1 (21 oz can) cherry pie filling
Instructions
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 until WELL combined. This is important so that it is combined enough and will firm up.
Pour into graham cracker crust and chill at least 3 hours. Pour on cherries (you might not need all of them) and chill before serving.
Recipe Notes

This was my dad’s favorite dessert so we had it often growing up. Seriously SO yummy! Thanks for reminding me of this recipe I am going to make it tomorrow. It is also delicious with blueberries.
We always used bottled lemon juice because that’s what we had on hand. My mom also put everything in the blender, and we have never had it turn out runny. Maybe because the blender mixes it up really well. No lumps either. We called it cheesecake. I didn’t learn that this wasn’t traditional cheesecake until I went to college 🤣
