This Easy Cream Cheese Pie topped with cherry pie filling is a family-favorite dessert recipe! It&#39;s rich, creamy and absolutely incredible! It’s also probably one of the easiest desserts to make. There’s no baking required and you only need 4 simple ingredients for the cream cheese filling. Perfect to serve for the holidays, Valentine’s Day, or any special occasion.

Easy Cream Cheese Pie

graham cracker crumbs ((10 full graham cracker sheets))

butter (melted)

sugar ((I use slightly less than 1/4 cup))

(8 ounce) package Philadelphia cream cheese (very cold and straight from the fridge, should be a bit soft)

(14 ounce) can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk

vanilla extract

can prepared cherry pie filling** (optional)

Combine all crust ingredients and firmly press with fingers into a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate for 1 hour before adding the filling.

To make the crust:

Using a stand or hand-held mixer, whip very cold cream cheese until fluffy. Then, pour in the sweetened condensed milk while continuing to beat until blended. Do not continue to beat too long or the mixture will become too thin. Add lemon juice and vanilla; beat until just combined. You may need to stop the mixer a few times and scrape down sides and give the mixture a good stir with a spatula. Pour mixture into prepared pie crust and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or overnight. I chill mine overnight for best results. The longer this pie is refrigerated, the better it will set up.

Serve pie with cherry pie filling or other desired topping. Cover and store leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

To make the filling:

EASY CREAM CHEESE PIE REC

These Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls are sweet, creamy, &amp; have the perfect amount of crunch from the egg rolls!

Cherry Cheesecake Egg Rolls

cream cheese (softened)

lemon rind

cherry pie filling

egg roll wrappers (mine were 6″x6″)

In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, lemon rind, sugar and lemon juice until well mixed. Spoon into a Ziploc baggie. Cut off the corner of the bag.

Lay out the egg roll wrappers with one of the corners pointing towards you and pipe a line of cheese mixture across the wrapper. Add approx. 10 cherries on top of the cheese mixture.

Using water, wet the edges of the wrapper and roll up tightly ensuring the edges are sealed well. Let the rolls sit about 3-4 minutes allowing the water to dry and create a good seal.
